If i understand it correctly if you export a macro as an exe it will pack up all the functions inside macro folder and make it standalone. Make it runable on other computers without having to copy files from myQM folder ect. I tried this but i cant make it run. It gives me error's with object not found message. And when i make an exe i get the message : Warning: 'Auto add files' is checked but files are not specified. Read QM Help. What should i do to make it work?
Thank you for your patience and help..

Yes, it packs the functions. But does not add files by default. To add files that you use in the macro/functions, check "Auto add files..." and add resource id in file path for each file in macro/functions. For example, if you use a file with scan, like scan "$my qm$\b.bmp", replace it to scan ":5 $my qm$\b.bmp", where 5 is some unique number for each file.

So if i understand it correctly i need to go in my macro function's, find all the places where i used scan and rename the .bmp images to start with 1: 2: 3: and than do the same with bmp images in MyQM folder so they mach. And Than they will export with exe next time?

Correctly, except "and than do the same with bmp images in MyQM folder so they mach".

One question Gintaras:
Is it possible in a future version, to add the resource id automatically for a generated exe?
if the macro is small, its ok, but if you build a large macro and at the end you realize that you need to convert it to an exe, its hard to track all the resources you need to change, and you loose lots of time change all the code to be able to generate the final exe!

Many functions support file resources like scan. But I think this is most often used with scan. Maybe will add another checkbox - "Add files used with scan".
scan also can use images stored in macros. When creating exe, these macros are always added. QM 2.3.2 does not add macros used with wait S (bug).

is it possible to add .wav files to exe similar to adding image files to exe?
#exe addfile "$documents$\Sounds\SoundFile.wav" 10
bee ":10 $documents$\Sounds\SoundFile.wav"

Macro
Add wav file to exe resources
;/exe
PlaySound _s.getfile(":10 $windows$\Media\Garden\Windows Feed Discovered.wav") 0 SND_MEMORY|SND_ASYNC
1
;In Make Exe dialog check 'Auto add files'.
;BEGIN PROJECT
;flags 22
;END PROJECT
In next QM bee will support ":resId file" syntax.
