Guys
I have created a macro project which I want to distribute.
The file is a gsm file
To install it on a different computer I go to the macro manager highlight the VBA fo applications line and then click om the load project button. This allows be to select the GMS file and it loads and all is well
Problem is when I leave coreldraw and then restart the program the macro is not there and I need to re-load it every time I run Coreldraw.
I Know about actually copying the fie to the GMS folder in APPDATA and this works perfectly and it is there every time I start but surely there is a more elegant way of doing this. I Cant understand if you load the project fine why it doesn't copy the GSM file to the correct directory
Is there another way of doing it or is the only way to have it there trying to make it easier for my clients
Any Help is greatly Appreciated

GMS-files can be located in two folders:
C:\Program Files\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X.\Draw\GMS
C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Corel\CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X.\Draw\GMS
X. - means version of you CorelDraw, i.e. 13-15 (or 13, X4, X5), X6, X7, X8 etc.
Just copy your macro to one of this folders, i am usually saving my macros in first one
...not work for me - for CDraw2018. It can be opened *.CGSaddon format, not *.GMS. Even I can see GMS files inside those directories. Any other advice?
Hi Shark
yes as I stated in my original question I know about the copy file way and where its located but its not an elegant solution asking a customer to navigate a huge list of folders just to include a macro
What I cant understand is when you install coreldraw 2018 it does not have a GMS folder but when you load a macro it creates it. Why did corel not just have automatically saved the file straight to that directory when it creates it instead of relying the user to either load it every time you run coreldraw or to use copy To and navigate a long list of folders
there must be a better way surely

It would be nice if, after loading a macro project manually, the user had an option to "save to my GMS folder".
IT would be a LOT nicer is we could specify additional folders for gms locations. i.e where WE keep our macros.
