What is wrong with this?


Recommended Posts

I'd appreciate a fresh pair of eyes on this please because I've been working on it for ages and can't see what's going wrong.

 

I have a large number of small edits to make on the 'Adjust..' macros you see in my illustration. I'll make a Repeat when I get the single version working. (Which I expected to take minutes, not hours...)

 

It starts with a macro selected, opens it in the editor, makes the edit, and is then supposed to confirm it (by typing 'y') and finally re-activate the Explorer window, ready for the next step.

Keystroke Speed: 10 milliseconds
Macro Playback Speed: 0.67 times faster than normal
Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <ENTER>
Delay: 2 seconds
Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <CONTROL>r // Open Replace dialog
Delay: 0.5 seconds
Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): -85<TAB>

Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <ESC>
Delay: 0.3 seconds
Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): y // Confirm
Delay: 0.5 seconds
Window Activate: Macro Express Pro - Explorer
Macro Stop
Wait for Window Title: Macro Express Pro - Explorer
Text Type (Simulate Keystrokes): <ARROW DOWN> // Prepare to change the next macro
Delay: 0.5 seconds


But despite that hard Stop and despite it containing no command to close ME Explorer, that's exactly what it does! It doesn't execute the confirm, which remains open.

 

If I move the Macro Stop up one line, it behaves, awaiting my manual confirmation, but of course I want that and the other final commands to be run automatically.

 

Same whether I activate by hotkey or F9. And no matter how slowly I run it. Driving me nuts. :(

 

This is 4.7.1.1 under Windows 10.
