Re: AutoHotKey to add a label (Windows)

I am the "college" to which Steve refers above. I use two other scripting facilities on Windows and find I also must insert "Wait X" statements ranging from X equal to .01 to .2 seconds. I have spent a lot of time working on the C++ code for Audacity and I think I understand what is happening. Audacity spends a lot of time "spinning" in a specific drawing loop after every event the app receives (there are other "spin" loops as well in the language translation code for instance). The amount of time spent spinning varies based on a number of factors. I brought this to the attention of the Developers but it is deep in the fundamental code and not of immediate interest to any Dev. Anyway, the best solution is to be generous with timing statements in your macros!
