I've encountered some issues (bugs?) with the 'Macro Run: User Prompt' command:
If you set the command to "Wait to complete before running next action", the subsequent commands in the current macro never run!
If you turn OFF the "Wait to complete before running next action" setting, many of the subsequent commands in the current macro get skipped.
I have attached macros that I hope demonstrate these issues.
I can imagine at least three scenarios for a 'Macro Run: User Prompt' command:
1. Execute the subsequent commands immediately, as soon as the User Prompt menu is launched.
For example, you may want to start a timer as soon as the menu is launched.
2. Execute the subsequent commands after the User Prompt menu is closed.
For example, you may want to start a timer after the menu is closed but before the selected macro (if any) is run.
3. Execute the subsequent commands after the User Prompt macro has finished running.
For example, you may want subsequent commands to use variables set by the User Prompt macro.
Providing all three options could be accomplished by offering two settings for the 'Macro Run: User Prompt' command:
[ ] Wait to close the User Prompt menu before running next action
» [ ] Wait to complete the launched macro before running next action
(Note: The second setting implies the first, so either it should be selectable only if the first setting is enabled, OR, enabling it should automatically turn on the first setting.)
However, if the above can't be implemented, I would be satisfied if the current setting "Wait to complete before running next action" would wait until the User Prompt macro has finished running, and then run all subsequent commands.
