[Done] Visual Indicator of Encryption/Logging on Main Window

[jpuziano]

Hi Marcus,

How about adding something on the Macro Scheduler Main Window so that as we look at a long list of macros, we can tell at a glance whether a particular macro is encrypted or not... or if logging is presently turned on for that macro.

For example, with today's upgrade to 8.0.3, we had to remove encryption beforehand, upgrade, then encrypt again. Luckily, I had only a few encrypted macros and I remembered which ones they were. Others with many encrypted macros may have to go through them all manually. With a feature like this, we'd know just by looking at the main window.

Same goes for logging. Is it on? Off? It takes time to check.

I see you already use the little icon that appears next to a macro in the main window to differentiate between manually entered macros (shows a gear) and recorded macros (shows a video camera). Maybe a version of the icon with a key on it could indicate "encrypted"? Or maybe add another column? However you'd choose to show it, it would be nice to be able to tell just looking at the main window.

Thanks and keep up the great work!

jpuziano and anyone else affected by the encrytion update issue.

I agree that main menu recognition would be nice. Since that does not currently exist and the task at hand is to upgrade and not lose encrypted macros. A quick way to find all of your encrypted macros is to look in the Macro Scheduler script directory for .pwd files. Here is a short script that will do this function for you.

If you are pre NT4.0, substitute "command" for "cmd" in line three.


Let>RP_WAIT=1
Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=2
Run>cmd /c dir "%SCRIPT_DIR%\*.pwd" /b > %TEMP_DIR%~encrscp~.tmp
ReadFile>%TEMP_DIR%~encrscp~.tmp,enclist
DeleteFile>%TEMP_DIR%~encrscp~.tmp
StringReplace>enclist,.pwd,,enclist
MDL>Encrypted Scripts%CRLF%%CRLF%%enclist%


Later,
Dick

Hi Marcus,

Thanks for adding a visual indication of logging on the Main Window (the Log File column).

Just wondering... is showing which macros are encrypted on the Main Window still on the Wish List? Might be a simple as changing the existing tiny icon to one with a key through it.

Hi Marcus,

I just tried the latest beta. One of your fixes was:

Beta 09 Build 034
- Added padlock icon in macro list to show if macro encrypted

Now the encrypted macros are easy to spot, thanks for this.
