But, yes, you could automate your process with Macro Scheduler. I would suggest you download the evaluation, read the getting started guide, and have a look at the samples/examples in our forum and post any questions there. Hi Trevor,

I would like to be able to build a macro which would 1) Open the graphics app. 2) Load a graphics file. 3) Perform some operations / manipulation. 4) Re-save the graphics file with a different name. In addition, to be able to select a folder, and for all graphics files in that folder to have steps 2) to 4) applied to each. Is this possible with Macro Scheduler?

I would like to be able to build a macro which would
1) Open the graphics app.
2) Load a graphics file.
3) Perform some operations / manipulation.
4) Re-save the graphics file with a different name.

In addition, to be able to select a folder, and for all graphics files in that folder to have steps 2) to 4) applied to each.

Is this possible with Macro Scheduler?

Another case would be picklists where items are dragged and dropped from one pane to another. Will Macro scheduler with image recognition work in these cases?

I will think of some things which would be nice to see tutorials of and post later.

Would love to have video examples. I'm a forever beginner at scripting, so if i can see examples on video it's a huge help. I agree with Mark. Would love to have video examples.

It will work with ANY application, including non-Windows applications. Clearly Macro Scheduler itself must run on a Windows PC but using VNC it could control an application running on another operating system. My video demo is controlling another Windows environment under a Citrix session, but there's no reason why the remote environment can't be an X-Windows application, or a Mac PC, or even a command line environment. I would use VNC to access the remote machine and "through" VNC Macro Scheduler can control the non-Windows applications and detect screen objects. That's the beauty of image recognition. It works by "seeing" the screen and therefore the nature of the underlying technology is irrelevant. Mark,

I was thinking that possibly image samples could be made using an image editor from a screen shot or running the macro program in windows mode. There are a number of programs using directx and non windows based. The method to program a macro is the best I have seen. This product is at the top of my list. I also loved the example video. I would pay for video tutorials on macros as there is so much potential but they are confusing for a begineer. Will this method work with non windows applications?
