Action

Consist of multiple Macros.

Macro

Stores the commands to be executed. Mostly they store Blender Operations such as Operator (bpy.ops.xx.xx) or Context changes (bpy.context.xx.xx = xx). But they can also contain regular python code.

Local

Available only in the project file. The selected action can be executed with the Play-Button (Shortcut: Alt + .) Direct editing of macros is possible. If you want to edit the Global macro, move it to Local and then edit it.

Global

It can be shared and used with other project files as well. By default it is saved in the Storage.json file which is located inside the install directory of the Add-on.

Hint

By default the path to the Storage-File is
C:\Users\<USER>\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\3.3\scripts\addons\ActRec\Storage.json
