When I copy an action for pasting, the step numbers are in the format of "0001", "0002". I assume this means an action can have a maximum of 9999 steps? I couldn't see anything in the manual that mentions a limit.
Yes, the maximum is 9999 steps. Most actions are nowhere near that size so it's really just an arbitrary limit that was chosen. I once helped a user with an action they created and it was 313 steps; the biggest action I've seen to date.
I guess I could realistically lower the limit to 999 steps to save some resources (app memory), but I have no plans to do that. Keeping it future-proof is the better idea, IMO.
Good idea.
9999 steps ought to be enough for anybody. ;D
I wonder how many people here will get the reference? The original quote was a very long time ago.
Bill Gates. 640K ought to be enough for anybody.
I was thinking about my first "proper" PC recently -- 640K and twin 360K floppy disks. I added a hard disk to it via a plugin expansion card. The drive's capacity -- also completely adequate for the time -- was 32Mb.
I download podcasts that wouldn't fit on that HD, now. ;D
