In other words: (If it wasn't buggy), is it supposed to be a one-time 'Retry,' or a continuous 'Retry' - until something occurs to break the loop. That's partly what I was trying to get at before. To follow-up one more step - if the loop actions weren't buggy - in your next version of KM or whatever - will Retry go through each action in the macro or group, once-and that's it? Or is it your intention to continuously loop until something changes programmatically - or a break intentionally stops it. When you say, ".the Retry Loop action would execute the first action of the macro next and continue from there" (I think) you're saying, the Retry loop would normally return to the first action and then execute the actions yet again, in sequence, but since my macro shuts itself down, it never gets to that point. You can use this to get a visual break in your sequence of actions (eg for a slideshow). Mind if I ask - I didn't get one part of your answer. The Pause action lets you pause in the middle of a sequence of actions. (In my confusing paragraph) what I was trying to say is pretty simple: I had this idea that maybe the 'Retry Loop' action was executing in the background.that's all. See a screenshot of my "bulletproof" Cancel macro below. Related to this question, with regard to the phrase, "This Loop" (in 'Retry This Loop''), I assume you're referring to those actions already executed in the macro where it resides (and not to any other actions)? Is that correct? While the macro seems to be bullet proof, some events have occurred (during its execution) that made me wonder, how long does the Retry Loop action continue? So: I created a hardball Cancel Macro that (so far) instantaneously cancels any macro, any time, in any situation. (I think because my macros are becoming more complex), my Cancel macro hasn't been as effective. I've been using the Retry Loop action recently, and here again, a timing issue came up. To clarify: Assuming it takes the User some time to execute the prompt (not a very long time but, let's say, one minute, or two-or even three minutes), will the macro continue to execute in its intended sequence, after it receives the input and the OK button has been selected (again, even if the User took a long time to do input the prompt)? If the answer is 'Yes,' how much time does the User have?Īpropos to this Q: Can the amount of time be adjusted (without adding a Pause Until action, for example). Re: the Prompt User Action: How long will the prompt user dialog box remain open and active (I'll clarify in a sec) before the user selects the "OK" button.
