Topic: Need help to close a loop based on count
Replies: 2

Line 167 "Goto>loop" resets your counter every time through. Your variable "count" will never equal "max" because you keep resetting it to zero. If you really want to repeat the process, "goto>loop" should come after "until>count=max". However, it looks to me like you don't want the "goto>loop" at a...

I think it would be a nice "option". As long as the defeat shift-esc option was performed with the understanding that one would be required to use the slower ctrl-alt-del-end-process, to stop an errant executable script, I don't know why there would be a problem. Thanks for your consideration of the...

How to defeat Shift-Esc

Is there any way to compile a macro such that the running executable will not be subject to death via Shift-Esc?

I tried changing the default kill key press under tools > options then compiled a script. Shift-Esc still stopped it.

Thanks for listening,
Dick

If I'm understanding you correctly, I don't believe there is any way to continue a long line of code on another line.

Try SET>Lotus Notes* From the help for SetFocus: If the last character of the window title specified is an asterisk (*), Macro Scheduler will attempt to setfocus to the first window whose title matches the text entered exactly. If it cannot make an exact match it then looks at all windows and sets f...

Captive, I agree an MD5 checksum function would be nice. Until it is available here is a possible alternative. It requires a free utility file called MD5sums.exe available for download from here. http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/ It can be run from a DOS command line and the output redirected t...

Rain,
I would not have tried stopping the record with shift+esc since the instructions say to use ctlr+alt+Z (default). But I tried it under version 8.0 and it seems to work. No error.

Just a thought, I have done this in the past, just not with PhotoShop. Create a small jpg file, call it ~DoNotDelete~.jpg. Put it in some obscure corner of your harddrive. C:\Program Files\Common Files\~DoNotDelete~.jpg for example. (The next part is the weak link in this plan, I have no idea whethe...

Rain, One thing I've noticed with your posts is you are not posting an "END" to your subroutines. SRT>XXXXX //do something END>XXXXX Another thing: The OnEvent requires a subroutine, but the subroutine could have one goto statement that goes to a label. This would effectively make the OnEvent functi...

I had noticed this same effect but jumped to a different conclusion than Me_again. I assumed that the macros only update if the date is new. I'm at home now so I can't confirm this, but I'm fairly certain that I had files that updated on the 12th. I tested the effect using the same ones on the 13th ...

Thanks to everyone who confirmed the problem. Just rebooted thinking that might make a difference. It did not. Did just notice another anomaly. I'm adding it here thinking it might be related. I have lots of groups and sub groups. When viewing the "All Macros" group my macros are sorted in ascending...

Yes, I agree something is wrong and I don't know what it might be. Here are my results.

Had a little spare time this evening so I took the liberty of modifying Marcus' code and added a date. I have the same with an ini file if you change your mind I could post it. The ini method is a little simpler for the date since you can use the ini file date as the last upload date. Also, if you d...

I never go to macro properties. I always right click and select "Edit Script". I don't have to do anything except open in the editor and close and my date is made current 100% of the time. I have installed v8.0 on two computers. One of them is XP the other is 2000. The results are the same on each.
