Highlight of the Week (WebAttack.com) "... From what I've seen so far, this is the best free scheduling
and automation tool you can find! Very powerful and nicely designed."
(www.webattack.com)
Macro Angel introduces several ways to save time by eliminating repetitive
actions and simplifying complex tasks into one step. You can assign repetitive
tasks to a single keystroke and also have WinScheduler perform tasks for
you automatically when some specified events occur. Macro Angel allows you
to build custom automated tasks such as file backups, FTP and HTTP downloads
and uploads, file copy, move and much more. You can create complex tasks,
using a combination of various elements including user input, keystroke
input and more. The program also supports automated ZIP archiving. A task
wizard will guide you through the creation process, so no programming experience
is required.
Macro Angel allows you build custom "tasks" without writing any programming
code that can interact with multiple applications, the Internet and data
simultaneously. Macro Angel breaks down common user actions into basic actions
or steps. This allows the user to build tasks step by step in logical progressions.
These tasks take the place of of an actual user performing the steps necessary
to complete the given task or procedure. Macro Angel tasks are comprised
of two primary components "Actions" and "Triggers".
What's
new in version 1.2?
Variable
support is added. Now, you can use up to 25 variables. Moreover, you
can use the variables everywhere you want. For example, in file
I/O operations, you can use the variable name as the target file and/or
destination file. Variable support is added to all steps. In all of
the steps, you can enter the variable name as the input(s) or you can
combine variables with some other strings/integers. NOTE: You can use variables everywhere you want. You can enter the
variables as inputs to every field in all steps! Also note that all
variables are global. All variables are shared among all tasks. Thus,
if one task changes a variable, this will also affect all other tasks.
This makes it possible to share data between different tasks.
You
can perform the following operations with variables: Addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division and concantenation.
Variables
support both integer and string operations. If you try
to add two variables, the program automatically converts the
variables to integers (if possible).
Nested
loops and nested if conditionals are now supported
New
If conditionals about the variables are added
Bad
news for version 1.1 and 1.0b users: Prompt step has been
changed! In this version, if the user selects YES then the step is assumed
to be successful and if the user selects NO, then the step is assumed
to be failed. By this way, you can handle the user response using if
conditionals. This is much more flexible than the older Prompt
action. However, this also means that the users of older versions need
to change the tasks that contain "Prompt" action. After Prompt
step, you have to use if conditionals and handle the user response.
What's new in version 1.1?
Hotkeys
option was completely re-programmed. All known bugs are fixed!
If
conditionals were added. The following conditions are available
now:
last
step was failed
last
step was succesful
file/directory
exists
file/directory
does not exists
window
exists
window
does not exists
window
is in the foreground
window
is not in the foreground
By the
help of If conditionals, you can handle the error situations!
Two new
options , namely "Do not show any confirmation boxes" and
"Do not show any error messages", were added to all task steps.
By this way, if the user desires, he/she will never be interrupted by
error messages or some other confirmation boxes. The tasks work FULLY
AUTOMATIC by the help of this feature and by the help of if conditionals.
ALL
FILE I/O operations now support operations on MULTIPLE FILES.
By this way, you can copy/delete/move/create hundreds of files and directories.
By using
"Create directory" action, you can now create multiple-level
subdirectories.
"Record Macro" option was added.
"Exit
current task" action was added.
"Prompt"
was re-designed.
4 new
preferences were added to the program preferences:
Don't
display 'Running' icon in the tray when a task is runing
Add
a xxx miliseconds pause between keystrokes
Set
task scan rate to xxx seconds
Log
task activities to a specified file
"Duplicate
Task" options was added. By this way you can create a copy of a
task with a single mouse click
"Start
an application" action was completely re-designed and have more
options!
"Show
a reminder" was action added!
"Disconnect"
