  1. I would like to be able to easily see the changes I have made to a Macro Express script. Why I need this: - Assists with debugging. With a comparison facility, I would be able to compare my current script with earlier versions to see changes. - Other people would be easily able to see changes I have made to a script. I suggest two possible ways that MacroExpress people show implement this facility: 1) Allow export of the Macro Express script in text form (I mean the readable scripting format not the Direct Script). Then I can use Beyond Compare to compare text files. 2) Provide a tool within Macro Express to compare versions of scripts
  2. I would like MacroExpress to be changed so that multiple character names for variables can be used, instead of the current single character. This would make the variable names meaningful, so that: - scripts are easier to understand, e.g. %PIXEL_COLOR% instead of %N1% - scripts are easier to debug - scripts are easier to add new features to. With proper names for variables, the author would not have to think about which variables had already been used. They simple define a new variable with a new name. Most other scripting languages allow proper name variables.
  3. use a repeat loop that polls for the window title (make your webpages have different titles) - something like: T1="exit" repeat until T1="exit" if window active "Web page title1" then // do something 1 T1="exit" end if if window active "Web page title2" then // do something 2 T1="exit" end if delay 1000 //poll every second end repeat
  4. How I arrived at the 215 figure: 1) I ran regedit. Selected 'Export' to save the entire registry as a .reg file 2) Then I installed Macro Express trial version for the first time. 3) Then I ran regedit again and selected 'Export' to save the entire registry as a different .reg file 4) I took both files and compared them in Beyond Compare, which said "215 sections changed". I have briefly looked at the changes. I do not know what they mean - only a Macro Express developer would know. What's important to me is that Macro Express registry entries do not interfere negatively with the functionality or performance of other applications. I have seen problems in the past with other applications that make registry entries. I am very impressed with Macro Express after evaluating it. It does most of the things I want to do. I sincerely hope that there are no issues.
  5. I need to be sure that Macro Express will not degrade the performance of, or impair the functionality of other applications I have installed. I saved my Windows registry before installing the trial version of Macro Express. Then did the install. Then saved the registry again. I used Beyond Compare (www.scootersoftware.com) to compare the registry before and after and it showed up 215 sections different. Exactly what changes does Macro Express make to the Registry? I need to know to see if this might affect other applications.
