[macrolauncher] Edit macro name

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It would be nice if you could edit the macro name/type labels in the list
control. It isn't immediately obvious that you have to open the macro file
and then edit it to set the name in the file.

This could be mitigated some if after clicking on "New Macro" it would
automatically open the macro file in the Editor to be worked on.

To edit label/type would be difficult (I am not saying impossible) the module 
has to
change the macro, then load it to see if anything wasn't broken, then register 
it. 

Another option that says 'edit label/type' and opens the macro in editor is what
'Edit' does right now, that would be just clutter (and the new macro should be
automatically opened in the editor, wasn't it?)

I believe that after you edit first macro, it will become obvious what needs to 
be
done to change the label.

Hello,

Yes it would be good to open the macro by default in the editor when clicking 
new.

I think this is still a valid request for future enhancement though. It would 
not be
very hard to implement, just need to scan the file for those module level 
variables
and swap out the values. Might also make sense to have those variables use the
__var__ convention to show there importance a little more clearly and it would 
make
this operation easier as well.

Anyway reopening to keep track of as a future idea, this is not critical for 
first
version.
