When saving a project with multiple large macros (+4000 lines each, for example) some of the macros may eventually not be saved. I have identified and fixed the issue and will be corrected in the upcoming release.

A message of "Target Label not found" is eventually shown for existing Label rows with Goto, Gosub or SetTimer command. The problem will be corrected in the upcoming release.

I will create a macro, and then click run. It will then run the macro, but the window for macro creator disappears, and the macro creator icon disappears from my taskbar making it seemed like the program closed. I then click on my Desktop icon to run it again, and nothing happens.

I checked my task manager, and it is still active even though I cannot open it. I have to manually end it, and then after that I can click on my desktop icon and it will open.

I want to add a schedule macro to Window's Task Scheduler, using the button "Schedule Macros" within “File”. But nothing happened when the schedule time arrived... Then I tried to run the command manually, no response neither. The parameter "-aN" is valid. My environment is win10 64bit.

I don't want to be rude. I can see how this project offers a lot of features, and also required a lot of effort. But, at least from my point of view, it's a pity that the UI is such a mess. It doesn't help to learn how to use the program. Biggest issues are, that not even one "special" button is named. Secondly, there are a bunch of functions, that are totally unnecessary for normal use (like zip/unzip?).

I hope I'm not just blaming, but also productive. And I hope this helps a little for the program to become better.

1. Summary

If I press Ctrl+Shift+P, p key don't record for me in Pulover's Macro creator.

2. Steps to reproduce

I reproduce the problem in a version of Sublime Text without plugins and user settings.

I run Pulover's Macro Creator → I click to «Record» button →

OK → I press F9 → I open any file in Sublime Text → I press Ctrl+Shift+P in Sublime Text

key evt: shift+control+p
command: show_overlay {"overlay": "command_palette"}

→ I press F9.

3. Expected behavior

WinActivate, D:\Киролайна\TheChorusGirl.Chekhov (DebugProject) - Sublime Text (UNREGISTERED) ahk_class PX_WINDOW_CLASS
Sleep, 984
Send, {LControl Down}
Sleep, 406
Send, {LShift Down}
Sleep, 110
Send, {p}
Sleep, 110
Send, {LShift Up}
Sleep, 15
Send, {LControl Up}

4. Actual behavior

p don't record.

WinActivate, D:\Киролайна\TheChorusGirl.Chekhov (DebugProject) - Sublime Text (UNREGISTERED) ahk_class PX_WINDOW_CLASS
Sleep, 984
Send, {LControl Down}
Sleep, 406
Send, {LShift Down}
Sleep, 110
Send, {LShift Up}
Sleep, 15
Send, {LControl Up}

5. Environment

Operating system and version:
Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 64-bit EN
Sublime Text:
Build 3126
AutoHotkey:
1.1.25.01
Pulover's Macro Creator:
5.0.5 (x64)

Thanks.

I've been having the Send Text (Paste form Clipboard) behave unreliably. Most of the time it sends correctly, but sometimes it sends nothing, and other times it sends what was on the clipboard not the text listed in the macro.

The reliability of this could be greatly improved by changing this

	pb_Clipboard:
		SavedClip := ClipboardAll
		If (Step != "")
		{
			Clipboard =
			Clipboard := Step
			Sleep, 333
}

to this

	pb_Clipboard:
		SavedClip := ClipboardAll
		If (Step != "")
		{
			Clipboard =
			Clipboard := Step
			ClipWait, 1, 1
}

When shades of variation is set to 0, the CenterImgSrchCoords function will correctly center on the image, however if it is increased to 1 or higher then the coordinates always return the upper left corner of the image.

This code will work as expected:

ImageSearch, FoundX, FoundY, 0, 0, 1920, 1080, C:\CHB\image.png
CenterImgSrchCoords("C:\CHB\image.png", FoundX, FoundY)
If ErrorLevel = 0
    Click, %FoundX%, %FoundY% Left, 1

But this clicks the upper left corner:

ImageSearch, FoundX, FoundY, 0, 0, 1920, 1080, *64 C:\CHB\image.png
CenterImgSrchCoords("*64 C:\CHB\image.png", FoundX, FoundY)
If ErrorLevel = 0
    Click, %FoundX%, %FoundY% Left, 1

When opening a pmc file with a large macro (+4000 rows) the program hangs and the main window is not enabled again.

This seems to be thread issue and I'm already working on a solution. For now it's possible to work around the problem right-clicking on the tray icon and selecting "Deactivate Macros".

for some reason, this error pops up when i try to install it on my corporate computer.

i'm using autohotkey, so while its okay- it certain slows things down a little bit... not that much since i'm not very familiar with your software either!

cheers

This should be fixed in the next version, as well as the performance problem with large projects using groups.

I have a Windows 10 touchscreen laptop. PMC 5.0.4.

Whenever I have PMC open and a hub plugged in, I hear random device sounds. USBLogView shows no events.

When I unplug my keyboard with PMC open, PMC crashes, and the Windows crash dialog (close window...) freezes (Not Responding). Every app I try to subsequently click on freezes as well. The taskbar does nothing. Oddly enough, I can still scroll (but not click) with the touchscreen, and trails are visible. Unplugging or plugging the external monitor is handled normally, but input is entirely broken, necessitating a restart.

I think PMC corrupts Windows input state, leading to these input issues.

Possibly related to #34

I try to use Save As (button or menu)
The command apparently finishes but the new file is not created.

The new file name appears under recent files, but If I want to use that link the next day I get
"Error the file was not found"

Hello,

After saving the .pmc file in 5.0 and opening in older PMC version, all the macros are shown only in 1 tab Macro1.
It is good to have backward compatibility for the future releases.

Thank you

The recording options menu on the main toolbar and on the controls toolbar will not update when an option is selected, unless you go to options > settings and press OK.

Will be fixed on the next release.

I try to use Loop Until (expression).
The loop always was only executed a single time.
Expression was something like
%FrameEdgeFound%="#33333"
I tried with and without % or "
The variable comes from a MouseGetPos inside the loop.
I now have a workaround with a If ...Break construction.

The program crashes my Win10 laptop randomly. It also makes everything really slow until I click the Close Window button on the Windows troubleshooter dialog box.
This is the only log I could find:

I am unable to use this pullover software in this EMmu Android Emulator . Please help me out . Could you fix this problem. That will be great .

Could a feature be added for removing extra pauses and mouse movements, to reduce a script down to it's necessary actions?

Your website, macrocreator.com, is showing a GoDaddy expired message.

Using latest version 5.0.5, and its its randomly crashing. Any solution?

A thread issue that occur under some circumstances may cause some of the rows to be skipped.
This is easily fixed with a Critical command in the function that checks which rows are checked in the lists and will be fixed in the upcoming update.

Windows 10 defender claims a virus is inside portable x86 executable from the main site.

It would be great if we can export our custom setting of PMC to external file so later we can import it to another installation of PMC.

Thank you!

The AHK files exported from the macro creator does not tends to work.
-AHK is installed. the script launches but nothing else happens.

Variables such as A_LoopField and A_LoopReadLine are not returning the correct evaluation as the InputVar for the If String Contains and If String Not Contains statements. They seem to be working normally for all other statements.

Reported by Vallorian.
After the execution jumps to a label row from a gosub or goto command and executes a loop, the rows executed inside the loop might be wrong.

Since V2 is not backward compatible, so?

Hi,

Macro Creator is sent to background every time I run a script inside it. It happens with the installed and portable version (5.0.5). I have the shutdown options (when playback finishes...) as "do nothing". I ran it under Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 7 Enterprise, 64 bits. Thanks.

This is a video I record of the event: https://youtu.be/ovzhSsrrbaA

Reported by AcJoker.

Exported scripts with Control and ControlGet that must have the Value field empty are skipping that parameter, creating invalid commands.

If I open the On-Screen Keyboard and I click on keyboard keys, the corresponding mouse clicks are not recorded.

When the project has a Function tab, some hotkeys might not be activated when the Play button is pressed, even though no error is shown. Until the next revision, you must assign a different hotkey.

Version 4.1.3 (x86)

By default, "check for updates on startup" is enabled. This fails when you're behind a proxy server, as I am at work. Upon start-up, there is a long pause as the http request times out before you're presented with:

Hitting "No" shuts the entire application down.

Hitting "Yes" results in

Again, hitting No shuts down the application

Hitting Yes again allows me to continue to the main screen and start working, where I can turn off "Check for updates on startup"

I can't find anywhere to configure the proxy settings in "Settings" but the application also does not appear to use the IE settings for Proxy configuration either. As far as I can tell, this means I can't check for updates when behind a proxy.

Running the latest Macro Creator on Windows Xp Sp3 and sometimes depending on what I click in the program or when I try to save it quits and gives me an error. Sometimes when saving it quits then deletes the original file I was trying to save.

An error in the setup script caused the Lang files to be placed in the wrong directory and this is causing an error when submitting a language revision. Will be fixed in the next update.

Have an issue after recording a macro on a two screens. Had to perform some operations on both screens. When playing that macro on a second screen mouse movements was ok. But after clicking - mouse automatically moves to the first screen and perform recorded operations there.

Hello, i am having some problems with the creator, the program launches good, but i can't click any buttons or any of the menus. After a while the starter script opens and i am able to use my mouse for a short while, but then it freezes up. I can also use my arrow keys and move around the script normally, but not use the mouse. When the program is frozen, the task manager shows 30% CPU usage, and when the program is unfrozen the CPU usage drops to 1 then rapidly goes back to 30%
Has anyone else had this problem? If so how did they fix it.

Variables assigned in a normal macro are showing empty after a function call inside an expression. This does not seem to happen when using the Function window.

Hi,

In the new version if you have open multiple macros and you try to close one, it mess up the codes and commands of other macros by moving commands from 1 macro to other macros.

I have created a video to illustrate the problem with dummy data https://youtu.be/ko2m6_zM-p0 .
Thank you.

Hello,

The following is not displaying the pattern match in the message box when using MacroCreator:
RegExMatch("xxxabc123xyz", "abc.*xyz", _)
MsgBox, 0, , %_%

It should display abc123xyz but instead the message box is blank.

When running the same code in a regular autohotkey script the message box does display abc123xyz.

Thanks

Variables assigned inside a local-scoped function (and not set as global variable) are keeping their contents outside the function.

When the project has a Function tab, changing the order of the tabs by drag-and-drop or from the Edit Macros window will cause one or more macro lists to be cleared.

When closing a macro it moves and overwrites to the next macro.

1. Load .pmc
2. Close Macro1
3. Macro1 closes but it is transferred and overwrites macro2

Does not appear to happen with all saved macros so I've attached this one that is bugged for me.
ESO Set List.zip

In AutoHotkey you can specify regex matching mode for WinActivate, but I don't see that option within Macro Creator. Is it possible?

After moving any number of rows up or down using mouse drag-and-drop, the right-click context menu won't show on the listview anymore.

According to this : http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Variables.htm#WorkingDir
A_WorkingDir and A_ScriptDir should, IMO, be setup by default to the directory of the selected PoluversMacroCreator script.

My testing script :
[PMC Code]|F3||1|Window|1
1|[Pause]|WorkingDir : %A_WorkingDir%`nScriptDir : %A_ScriptDir%|1|0|MsgBox|1||||

I expect to get "D:\profils\arg\Mes documents" (the location of the script) but the popup indicates me "C:\Program Files\MacroCreator" (the location of the installation path of PuloversMacroCreator)

I think it's because the mouse in minecraft is always snapped back to the center so when ever you move it away it goes back. You can test this by opening your inventory moving your mouse to the side then close and reopen your inventory. I think a good way to fix it would be to have an option where after every mouse event it would set the origin position back to the center.
