Copy macro broken?

[Rongway]

In most cases, you can copy a class/job (cross)hotbar directly to "share" without trouble. If you want to copy from a DoH class to "share", please be careful.

I had a problem when using the following macro:

/crosshotbar share 1 on
/crosshotbar copy CUL 1 share 1

It copied a XHB, but sometimes copied actions could not be executed in current class. DoH classes have class specific actions with the same name. The macro did not always copy the correct actions.

The following version worked fine for me:

/crosshotbar share 1 on
/crosshotbar copy CUL 1 current 1
/crosshotbar copy current 1 share 1

In that case though, why turn sharing for that bar on at all? The first copy line to current 1 would be visible on an unshared bar.

You are right. I don't need to turn on sharing. I posted a prototype macro for simplicity, but it made my intent unclear. The current version first backups a class/job XHB, uses it as a temporary XHB for copying, and finally restores it. I turn on sharing just because I want to avoid unintentional overwriting class/job XHBs. I treat class/job XHB as an original and the shared XHB as a workspace.

/crosshotbar change 1

/crosshotbar copy current 4 share 2
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 3 current 4
/crosshotbar copy current 4 share 3
/crosshotbar copy share 4 current 4
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 4 share 4
/crosshotbar copy alchemist 7 share 8

CUL 1-3 ... crafting actions
CUL 4 ... crafting macros
CUL 7 ... DoH gearsets
ALC 7 ... miscellaneous macros
share 8 ... XHB for expanded controls with L2+R2

I manually switch gearset while waiting.

I also use dozens of combat macros using "/crosshotbar copy" on a daily basis. There were no issues before or after recent updates.

EDIT: After some trial and error, I found that DoH class XHB can be copied to shared one without touching class/job XHBs, allowing me to skip the backup and restore process. I updated my macros.

/crosshotbar share 1 on
/crosshotbar remove 1 all
/crosshotbar copy CUL 1 share 1

/crosshotbar copy culinarian 7 share 8
/macrolock <wait.2>
/crosshotbar share 1 on
/crosshotbar remove 1 all
/crosshotbar copy share 1 share 2
/crosshotbar copy share 1 share 3
/crosshotbar copy share 1 share 4
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 1 share 1
/crosshotbar change 1
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 2 share 2
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 3 share 3
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 4 share 4
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 5 share 5
/crosshotbar copy culinarian 6 share 6
/crosshotbar copy alchemist 7 share 8

When I want to commit changes in another DoH class, I use the following macro. It has a foolproof function; when your current class/job is not DoH, it waits 1 minute before starting the copy.

/action "Shirk" <me> <wait.60>
/action "Leg Sweep" <me> <wait.60>
/action "Leg Graze" <me> <wait.60>
/action "Addle" <me> <wait.60>
/action "Rescue" <me> <wait.60>
/action "Sneak" <me> <wait.60>
