Unable to use a XML Tools plugin command from a macro

[MarcoMiltenburg]

Description of the Issue

It's not possible to use a XML Tools plugin command from a macro. I want to create a macro that includes pretty print an XML file, save it and close the file.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

1. Open an XML file
2. Start recording a macro
3. Go to Plugins -> XML Tools -> Pretty Print (XML Only - with line breaks) or press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+B
4. Go to File -> Save or press Ctrl+S
5. Go to File -> Close
6. Stop macro recording
7. Open another XML file
8. Play the just recorded macro

Expected Behavior

The XML file should be pretty printed and saved to disk.

Actual Behavior

The file is not touched as the pretty print is not executed and thus nothing gets saved and the file is only closed.

When I manually invoke the pretty print command after opening the XML file and then execute the macro, the file is saved and closed. So the save and close steps are executed correctly but the pretty print step is not.
