MACROPAD app names?

Post by Hethacker »

how do you find the application name to use in the MacroPad? for instance, Illustrator for windows is called 'win illustrator', where would I find the names for other applications like Fusion 360 or google chrome? I am using a windows computer.

Are you trying to use the Macropad to start up a new instance of the application? If so, you could look at the name of the .exe in Task Manager after you've started the app.

okay, I looked at that, and I pulled up Windows Edge internet application. The example application works fine on my computer, but when I compare the code to the .exe they are not the same. The code has Edge written as 'Windows Edge' but the .exe is stated as msedge.exe. I pulled up the .exe by first pulling up task manager and then looking into the application details.
