Timer in program seems to be off

[whisp]

Hi.

I downloaded workspace macro 4.6 and I am trying to get it to work. I opened the application where I wanted the task to perform. I then hit run, did the task which was just clicking a button, then stopped the recording. That all went fine. The recording was about 2 seconds long.

Now I setup the repeat settings as continous and I wanted it to do it ever 1minute.

When I ran the macro it seemed it would be off. For example I was watching my watch and it would start, then 60 seconds later would do second time but on third it would be like 69 seconds and then on fourth 78 seconds. For some reason it would just not run every 60 seconds and would be delayed longer and lobnger each time.


I contacted support and they suggested using windows scheduler which is odd. Why not use the repeat function in the program they are supplying. Also task scheduler only does daily tasks and not one every minute and just confuses me.

Anyways just to clarify all I want is a program that will click this button exactly every 60 seconds when I start it and to repeat it continously until I ask it to stop.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,

When you set the macro to repeat after 1 minute, macro would start calculating the time (60 seconds) after macro stops fully and not after clicking a button so it may add some second to 60 seconds.
If you want to repeat macro exactly after 60 seconds then while recording, after clicking on that button stop the recording immediately. You can use Hotkey, 'Ctrl+Alt+S’ to stop the recording.

Alternatively, you can try using our advanced macro product, Workspace Macro Pro 6.5, which provides you with a powerful tool Macro Editor to create and edit the macro using commands provided by editor itself. Using Macro Editor you can create a macro having single command to click on button. You can use either ‘Insert Mouse Click’ command or ‘Insert Keystrokes’ command to click a button.

You can download free version of Workspace Macro Pro 6.5 from our website:

Hope that helps.

K so I went and got the pro product to try and I was able to see exatly what I recorded. I ended up deleting everything in it but the mouse click and then duplicated it since it really is a double click I need.

Now I have noticed that when the program is running a bit of lag when I am typing. Also it still seems that the timer lags behind a few seconds each time it performs the task and still doesnt do it every 60 seconds. Seems like a second is added every time the task is performed. I have tried turbo speed and perfom as recorded. Here is a screenshot of what I have in my macro.



Also, I was wondering why when I go to edit the mose click that when I go to advance and then event for the edit of the mouse click why I cant just make it double click so I can remove the other mouseclick event. Is this option only availble to the payed version?

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

With 'SMART Macro Turbo-Action Replay' the macro will run by not playing the mouse moves. You can also try speed option, ‘SMART Macro High-Speed Replay’, the macro will replay at a high-speed level. SMART Macro technology ensures that even by increasing the replay speed, accuracy and reliability are not compromised.

It is by design, when you insert double click it enters two mouse click commands sequentially so when you edit single mouse click command, the ‘Double Click’ event under Advanced option remains disabled.

Hope that helps.
