-
- FAQ and TIPS :
- --------------
- + ?? When I try to run a macro, I get the error message 'ppp procedure not found' ??
- => you get this error when you try to launch macros directly from the program
- editor or from the shell. Macros can only be run through shortcuts in Macro5.
-
- + ?? When using Copy/Paste functions or sending key sequences,
- I get sometimes strange behaviors or the target application crashes ??
- => Try to add pauses between commands to let the system catch up.
- Begin with 'Pause 100' (5 seconds) and decrease the value if it works.
-
- + ?? How do I cycle backward through tasks ??
- => If you cycle trought tasks with Ctrl+Space, Ctrl+Del
- cancels the cycling and any other Ctrl+key cycles backward.
-
- + ?? Macro5 is not restarted after a backup ??
- PsiWin 2.1 restarts only the applications in the ROM.
- You can nevertheless uncheck the advanced option 'Close for backup'
- to keep Macro5 open during the backups. The drawback is that you
- will get a warning message each time you will try to backup Macro5.app
-
- + ?? Macro5 does not close for the backups or from the tasklist ??
- => Check the option 'Close for backup' in the advanced options.
- If you do so, Macro5 will close for the backups but you will
- have to restart it by hand after.
-
- + ?? Why don't you set a hotkey for Macro5 ??
- => A hotkey switches back to the application only when
- the application is already running and is not busy (e.g. not
- waiting for a dialog). On the other hand, an Extras-bar key always
- switches back to the application, starting it if needed (that's what
- does Macro5 shortcuts).
- It is therefore more efficient to assign one of the Extras-bar keys
- to Macro5 (Sytem : Tools->Control Panel->Extras bar) and have
- the same key combination to start and switch back to Macro5.
- For example, assigning Macro5 to the key 'Extras', will allow you
- to access Macro5 with Ctrl+Extras in any events.
-
- + ?? Why don't add the possiblity to use the keys 1, 2 and 3 to switch
- between the shortcuts tabs ??
- You can use the arrows and 'Tab' to navigate through the panels.
- Since there is only 3 tabs, one keystroke is always enough to go to
- the panel of your choice.
