I have it listed in the FAQ. But I'm going to replace it with a link to this thread instead.
1) Doh! I knew I shouldn't have trusted /areatrack to find the post!
2) Woohoo!
orgHarv /harvest hide;/loot;
hb /echo \#99FF99Harvesting BONE\#.;/switchHH;/alias orgHarv /harvest bone;/loot;
hh /echo \#99FF99Harvesting HIDE\#.;/switchHM;/alias orgHarv /harvest hide;/loot;
hm /echo \#99FF99Harvesting MEAT\#.;/switchHB;/alias orgHarv /harvest meat;/loot;
switchHB /alias switchOrganic /hb;
switchHH /alias switchOrganic /hh;
switchHM /alias switchOrganic /hm;
Now in the Macro window (CTRL+A), and click the Macro tab.
Add a macro named OrgHarv, with the command /orgHarv, then another named SwitchOrganic, with the command /switchOrganic. The iconsare unimportant. Now these can be bound to keys or buttons.
Open the Options window (CTRL+O) and click on the Controls tab.
Click the Keymap button, and a list of all your key bindings appears. Click the Custom tab, and you'll see all the macros you've assigned in SWG.
Scroll down and find the macros you just made - OrgHarv and SwitchOrganic. Click on the one you want to set a key for, then click the Rebind button. A window pops up, allowing you to press the keys you want to use to activate the macro. Pick any key combination you like, then click the OK button. Repeat the process for the other macro.
Now this part is VERY important - after setting your key mappings, make sure you click the Apply button. If you forget to do this, SWG forgets that you made any changes at all, and you'll have to do it again.
That's it! now when you press the button you set to switch your organic, it will cycle from hide, to meat, to bone and back. Pressing the other key grabs that resource, and loots at the same time.
I hope this macro serves you well, Rangers!

I think that is supposed to be "Harvesting MEAT"
This is similiar to the macro referenced a couple weeks ago, except with some addition bells and whistles.

Actually, I found the ability to use aliases very handy in toggling off looting in my current harvesting macros.
It was very annoying having several dozen Sharnaff armor segments fill up my inventory, when I don't even bother selling the dang things.
Now I have a /LootOn and /LootOff macro that changes my /harvest hide;/CustomLoot; to either Loot or not loot depending on my preference at the time.
