Copyng Profiles with keystokes problem

[DarkHorseDre]

Hi, I've just bought WSM pro and Im having trouble copying a macro, making a keystroke change (login/password) and running again.

I'm using WSM to login to an online game, mouse clicks and movement, delay in-between, and then clicks to close.

I have a master macro (that works) for logging in, then I copy this and change the keystrokes of the original macro to change the login and sometimes password. There is only a username and password field on the first screen (where keystrokes are used).

The problem seems to be the tab after username in the copied macro, the following TAB is ignored, so part of the password appears in the username field, and the login fails.

What I have noticed is that the MASTER macro, where I recorded my actions/keystrokes, shows me typing each letter as I did it, one-by-one, on the replay. On the COPIED profile the username/password I manually changed is pasted en-bloc directly into the application and then the tab is missed.
In short, it seems as if the key-presses are recorded identical to how I typed them, when creating a new profile, but when I copy the profile and edit the keystroke line (leaving the carriage return and TAB in-tact) the keystrokes are EXECUTED differently.

Has anyone seen this/have suggestions?

Thanks,

Dre

Also, as a development suggestion, can we get the "rename" option from the main menu added to the context menu?

Hello,

What we suggest is, edit your copied macro to insert delay after you enter username (before Tab) so that keystrokes command to insert username can get enough time to execute and macro can run flawlessly. Insufficient delay can skip any command in macro and results into macro failure.

You can find Delay command under Commands section. Just double click on it, specify the delay time and save the command. You can also insert delay command after Tab keystrokes. Save the macro and run it.

We have forwarded your requirement, to put 'Rename' option in context menu that appears when you right click on particular macro in list, to the product development team for the future version of Workspace Macro Pro.

Note: By mistake, you created a Post in Workspace Macro instead of Workspace Macro Pro

Hope that helps.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

To be honest, I tried many delays before and after. Remember that the macro was a recording of my manual u/n & password input, and I just changed the keystrokes.
After many tests it keeps failing.. strange behaviour.

I think the main thing is how the input 'appears' to be input on the original macro, and how it is input on the copied version. It seems as if the Macro engine 'pastes' the entire username and password very quickly into the input field on the copy, versus inserting one letter at a time on the original.

Thoughts? I could send the macro, but they are identifical when you compare them!!! Plus you do not have the game I am using..

(thanks for passing on the suggestion!)

Is there any news or thoughts on this?
I have 10 of these near identical macro's to create and I dont fancy having to create them manually to overcome what seems to be a bug..

Thanks,
