Re: robotask bug

I also noticed the same. Only before reading this I kept blaming myself for accidentally clicking the box and ticking/unticking it. And I noticed both enabling and disabling of actions. I haven't noticed any regularities either, but for me it mostly happens within a loop - either a step within a loo...

Re: Excel: operations with rows and columns

Thank you, Oleg. As always, your suggestions are not only effective but elegant as well. Originally some data in those first 30 useless rows was similar to the data I needed from subsequent rows and was retrieved by search instead of what I needed. That is why I wanted to delete first rows - just to...

Excel: operations with rows and columns

Hi, I am having a couple of difficulties with Excel which I am not sure how to overcome. 1. I need to be able to delete first 30 rows in each of few hundreds of XLSX files. Unfortunately, there is no Robotask command 'Excel Delete Rows'. I tried using a macro, but for some reason Robotask cannot fin...

Re: New Extended Log Message Action

I would generalize your idea into adding a switch flow control (to replace multiple elseif's) with Action and Parameter instead of your Message Type and Message Text. Then it could be used for various scenarios, not just for messages.

Re: Position "Show Message" dialog

Technically there is no difference. But experience shows that users will always find a way to mess things up. They can accidentally delete the extra task, they can delete and then re-import the task so it won't run - my imagination is not powerful enough to predict all possible scenarios user can ma...

Re: Remove Folder Action

But we already have the option to delete to recycle bin

And we have "Remove Folder" action.
Or do you mean something different?

Re: Position "Show Message" dialog

Writing an extra task for repositioning the dialogue window would be OK if you are the only person using the task. But when you write a task to be used by your colleagues, who know very little about Robotask beyond how to press the Run button, on their machines, and then have to troubleshoot the tas...

Re: An option to load the old Robotask skin

It took me some time to get used to new icons. And although I don't have problem with new icons, I must say that it was much easier to locate a particular action in a long task or in the actions menu when icons were colourful. Maybe, if it is not possible to go back to old pics, it is feasible to ad...

Re: Use of ESC key

Very clever implementation!
I am just curious why the button sits in each task window even though it is activated or not activated for all tasks at once. Wouldn't it make more sense to put it on the main Robotask window icon bar or in the Settings?

Re: Returns of a task started from within another task

Hi Christian, Sorry for late reply - did not see your questions. My problem with writing functions within Robotask tasks is that I am not very good at programming in programming languages. I learned a few, but because I never have time to practise and use my knowledge, when I eventually need it I am...
