Item Settings- WinScheduler
There are two types of items: Macro items and clip items. While macro item allows you to perform variety of different tasks (from simple text inserting or starting application to complex scripts) clip item allows you just one thing: pasting clipboard data. Using clip items you can simply insert pictures, formatted texts, tables or charts to Windows applications. To access item properties double-click on an item in the main window.
General
General item settings are provided mostly for user's convenience (easy
navigation, searching and orientation among items).
Triggers
In this section, the user schedules when to run the macro.
Time schedule - the user can define to run macro once (at the time and date specified by "start at") or every minute, day, week or month between start and end time and date (if specified).
Window - the user can define to start
macro when a window is opened, activated, deactivated or closed. The window is
specified by window title. There is a special syntax when specifying window
title. This syntax allows more exactly determine the window. The syntax is:
child window title///main window title
or
window title
or
///window title
For example, if you specify "find///notepad" then the item will work only in the
"Find" dialog of "Notepad" application. If you specify just
"find" the will work in "Find" dialog of any application. If you
specify "///notepad" the item will work in "Notepad" window and all
its child windows including "Find" dialog.
File - user can define to run macro when a file is created, changed or deleted or if the size of the file is bigger or smaller than a defined value. The full path to the file must be specified.
Drive - the macro can be started when free space on a drive ("c:", "d:", etc.) is smaller or bigger than a defined value.
