RoboTask forum

I have created a File Loop and want to write to a text file each file name, file size and a number that increments for each file and displays like this: 1. Filename1.txt - 34567 bytes 2. Filename2.txt - 52958 bytes How do I create a variable which I can increment inside the File Loop? Also I would l...

I get the same error. I have 5 tasks scheduled to "Pack Files" in 5 different folders. 4 of these tasks run successfully and one just doesn't run at all. There is no errors in the log and other scheduled tasks fail to run after that. They also don't report any errors and there is nothing t...

I am able to reproduce this error consistantly. I am running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1. I am running RoboTask 2.0.2 I right-click on the ROOT folder and select New Folder. I give the folder a new name called "My Tasks". I drag an existing task from the "Examples\Simple&qu...

I think this program is fantastic. Very easy for the novice to get up and running with creating common tasks. There are a few suggestions that I have made in the suggestions area that would make this application even better. It would be great to have an area on the forum or your website where you ha...

Is there a way I can create several tasks that have preset values for different screen resolutions. I have a laptop and would like to run a task that can change the screen resolution and color depth when I plug it into an external monitor. This task doesn't need to happen automatically although that...

This may just be my computer and operating system. I am running Windows XP Professional with the default Lunar theme. When some of the toolbar buttons are unavailable they become big dark grey boxes. It would be better if they just lost their color and border rather then becoming a dark grey square,...

Suggestion:

Add a column to display the elapsed time or the total time a task took to run successfully.

As with one of my earlier suggestions. Adding columns and toolbar buttons could be configurable by the user.
