Mini Mouse Macro Doesn't work with Groupy

I use mini mouse macro pro (free version available) however it doesn't seem to work with groupy?? It won't switch between tabs. Hoping a dev could test the free version out and see if they can code group to work with it, already reached out to the creator, not sure if I'll hear back from him though. :D

https://www.turnssoft.com/mini-mouse-macro.html is where I got it from, which is the main site.

Yeah the guy who made the program has no time to fix things :D so.... maybe I get lucky and you guys fix it but I have my doubts :D

Ok, so after some digging, groupy tabs are not recognized by any macro recorder, or at least none of the 5 I tried recognized the actual clicks. 

Any idea why?

It would be very nice if this actually worked considering I spend almost all day working, and being able to set macro to click the tab automatically would actually reduce a lot of repetitive tasks. Right now I am using the "Control + Tab" to move through them, but it only works if my starting point is the same every time.

This means even if I want to use my current macro on the tab I am already on, I have to manually click a different (starting) tab for it to read right. If I fail to go back to starting tab before running macro then it moves to a diff tab and fills in wrong info there that I now have to manually delete.

Instead of just saying - click this groupy tab, and if I am already there it doesn't move and then runs the rest of macro to fill in forms. 

Affecting 1 Macro Software and yea prolly their fault, but affecting all (many) Macro Softwares, then its something on your end that needs tweaking.

Yes, I know... :D thats what I did already :D . But getting the macro recorder to record the mouse click on groupy tab to select the tab is what I actually want.... as per my previous post I explained why the built-in tab change macro does not work in the way I am needing it used. Let me break it down... time to get technical.....

A1 = 1st Macro to run set up by Macro MiniMouse

A2 = 2nd Macro to run set up by Macro MiniMouse

B1 = 1st group of Groupy Tab

B2 = 2nd group of Groupy Tab

B3 = 3rd group of Groupy Tab

- (How things currently work) -

Run Macro (Combo of Macro A1 & A2) - (Initial Groupy tab showing is B1)

A1 moves data to B1 then activates A2 that Activates B2 (via hotkey setup inside groupy settings which can only move to the Tab to the right of current tab) which then inputs data into B2 - Done

Run Macro (Only need A2 macro to run as I already have data needed) (Initial Groupy tab showing is B1)

A2  Activates B2 (via hotkey setup inside groupy settings which can only move to the Tab to the right of current tab) which then inputs data into B2 - Done

Run Macro (Only need A2 macro to run as I already have data needed) (Initial Groupy tab showing is B2 the tab I need info on)

A2 that Activates B3 (via hotkey setup inside groupy settings which can only move to the Tab to the right of current tab) which then inputs data into B3 - which messes everything up because I didn't manually change tab back to B1 so the macro can run properly

- (How things would work if Macro Clicks were recognized by the Groupy Tab) -

Run Macro (Combo of Macro A1 & A2) - (Initial Groupy tab showing is B1)

A1 moves data to B1 then A2 clicks the B2 Groupy Tab which then inputs data into B2 - Done

Run Macro (Only need A2 macro to run as I already have data needed) (Initial Groupy tab showing is B1)

A2  clicks the B2 Groupy Tab which then inputs data into B2 - Done

Run Macro (Only need A2 macro to run as I already have data needed) (Initial Groupy tab showing is B2 the tab I need info on)

A2 clicks the B2 Groupy Tab (since we are already on the tab does nothing but ensure we are on the right tab) which then inputs data into B2 - Done

Run Macro (Only need A2 macro to run as I already have data needed) (Initial Groupy tab showing is B3 the tab I "do not" need to be on)

A2 clicks the B2 Groupy Tab (since we are on the wrong tab it'll change to the right tab) which then inputs data into B2 - Done

 

- Now you might think oh its only 1 macro you can deal.... but I deal with dozens of macros and dozens of tabs... if it were just 1 I could deal with it.... Give you an idea I have 4 screens and they have tons of Groupy tabs going on, and tons of macros that take place, and being able to click the tab via macro from the "control station" I have built would save so much time.
