Latency in hotkey activation
Jeff Cleveland replied to acantor's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Alan and Cory, I am running the latest MEPro on Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1. I have noticed considerable latency at times with this operating system compared to Windows XP. There are times when MEPro goes absolutely dead (will not respond to HotKeys). If I change my current window to ME Explorer the problem disappears. Also, like you I encounter times that HotKey activation is extremely slow. I attribute these to problems with Windows 7 but I may be wrong. -
Terry, Do you see any speed penalty for Packing every time? It would also be nice if the Pack window would indicate when the Pack is complete. I have asked for this as well. Thanks for your reply. Jeff

I asked for an automated Pack function a long time ago. ISS replied that it would look at it when time is available. Probably very low priority. Jeff

What about a Mac version
Jeff Cleveland replied to drpiety's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Cory, See my reply on the scope problem. It bit me and and I reported it. Good to see are still around also. I miss your old icon though. Regards, Jeff ** Some portions of this message inserted by ME Pro ** -
I entered a formal bug report [iSS8273] Macro Express Pro - Problem with Scope a couple of days ago. I have two macros that use Ctrl+1. The scope is shown in the attachment. About the time I installed 4.1.5.1 Ctrl+1 embedded in Eudora email program and Adobe Pagemaker quit working correctly. I have used Ctrl+1 often in these two utilities. By disabling one of the two macros the problem disappears. With the discussion above, looking at the scope for my macro, I do not see that hidden windows would come into play as my macro will only work if the window is on top (can hidden windows be on top?).

What about a Mac version
Jeff Cleveland replied to drpiety's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Peter, I have not seen you post in quite a while. I am sorry that we lost you to the Mac. Every time I use a Mac I get very frustrated that the Mac does not have easy keyboard controls. Jeff Cleveland Adjunct Professor of Mathematics and Engineering -
Generally sluggish working

Cory, Thanks for the macro. I will give it a try and use it for other purposes after this semester ends. Best Regards, Jeff -
HotKey macro too slow
Jeff Cleveland replied to Jeff Cleveland's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Cory, I am hesitant to use the registry. I need variables that are persistent across several macros. Do you have an alternative to suggest? Thanks, Jeff -
Lagging Macro-Launches
Jeff Cleveland replied to stevecasper's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
I ran into a similar problem which I found my problem: I ran the test in the post indicated in the reply. I added a BEEP at the beginning of the macro. I get the BEEP immediately but the dialog box lags by a few seconds. I found where the problem lies. My original code was: Variable Restore: Restore Text Variables Variable Set String: Prompt for value When I move Variable Set String above the Variable Restore, the problem disappears. Evidently the Variable Restore has some long delay. Unfortunately I need the Variable Restore before the Variable Set String for the macro to perform correctly. Jeff Cleveland -

I have a macro that immediately brings up a dialog box that I enter control information into. The last version of MEP that I have been using in 4.0.1.1. When executing the macro in 4.0.1.1 the dialog box comes up immediately. In 4.1.0.1 the dialog box comes up very slowly. I cannot use 4.1.0.1 because it takes so long. Fast execution of this macro is essential to my operations. I have returned to using 4.0.1.1 Jeff Cleveland

I have noticed recently that some posts have very long lines. Is there a way to get the forum software to wrap these lines at the window edge so I do not have to scroll horizontally to read them? Thanks, Jeff

Trouble shutting down with MEP
Jeff Cleveland replied to davidnnc's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Friends, FYI, I use MEP at school. I have found that if I do not select "Backup every time ME is closed" the problem with MEP taking a long time to close on log-off disappears. I have disabled that function on all the computers I use at school. I now use a macro to backup my file. Jeff -
Text Type and Wait for Text Playback
Jeff Cleveland replied to stevecasper's topic in Macro Express and Macro Express Pro
Scasper, First, thanks for pointing out "Wait for Text Playback". I had not noticed that command. It may have been added in a later beta release. Yes, I feel it would be a nice addition to Text Type and other similar commands, particularly if I could set that as the default. Jeff
