When I installed Plutonium Addon Automation Foundry told me to install Item Macro as a dependency.

As the title suggests, I installed Item Macro. When I enabled Plutonium Addon Automation, then, Foundry told me (again) I need to enable Item Macro as well because is a dependency.

Latest plutionum-addon-automation Foundry v10.291

Thank you

That all sounds pretty normal. Is this preventing you from using the module?

All seem to work pretty well. I was alarmed by the GitHub readme telling Item Macro is not required.Then I posted on discord where I was adviced to raise an issue here. It seemed a minor bug.

fair enough. @Spappz I flipped to requiring Item Macro, because even without it, it's still "enabled," just hidden from the user, which feels a bit too sneaky. Unless you have any major objections, I'll update the README to match?

midi-qol itself states that it will read item-macro flags even in the absence of the module, and you only need the latter enabled if you want to read/edit the macros (in the Foundry GUI). My only real objection is that it's just superfluous JS to load, even if it's only ~16 KB 🥴

I personally think the macros being 'hidden' from the user is 100% fine as long as the README/wiki explains how to see them (both in Foundry and in the source here). After all, I'm pretty sure that item-macro, by default, hides the macros from non-GMs anyway! But it isn't a hill I'll die on, so if you want to leave more buttons lying around for non-tech-savvy users to stumble on, go ahead 😏

hm true ItemMacro does annoyingly hide itself by default anyway. Guess there's not much point depending on it right enough. Will remove
