<description><![CDATA[This is what I have been looking for. It greatly helps automate multiple mouse-and-keyboard procedures I have to go through day in and day out. My life has improved greatly by such a wonderful program.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many of the problems that people have with this come from not reading the Help file (as always, and as I talked about in comment #17).  The Options pane associated with each entry should be named Object Search Options.  "Wait for repeats count" (sic) is the number of times it should try to find the UI object if the initial search fails; this mode doesn't seem very useful since a fast computer will probably cycle almost instantly.  "Wait for time" is how long to search for the UI object; this is NOT a delay!  "Unlimited wait" will continue searching for the UI object until it becomes available; enables user input even when blocked in global Options (necessary, to allow macro execution termination if the object doesn't become available).  "Exact match" will look for an exact match for the requested UI object; useful to keep from selecting the wrong UI object when it can't find the requested one.  As for the global Options, decreasing "Delay after each step" to speed up execution, may decrease macro reliability.  If you're new to MouseRobot, you may want to uncheck "Block user input" until you've verified that your macros are functioning correctly (blocking user input during macro playback is otherwise generally a good idea).

#29, ColPeters, there is a pause feature, although the implementation is odd.  In a Keyboard field, put {WAIT n}, where n is the number of seconds to pause (the braces are required).  Don't have a convenient text field?  Simply create an entry for almost anything, change its type to Keyboard if it's created as Mouse.  As for the size of the macros, that's mostly from the screen-region captures, which I like because they make it very easy to read and edit the macros.

I'm a little amused that people gave my comment #19 thumbs-down.  It's a description of how to overcome a limitation (and an unnecessary one, at that) in MouseRobot.  But then, I don't pay any attention to the thumbs-up / thumbs-down ratings, because people use them so senselessly.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Mouse and Key Recorder is better than AutoIt, and MouseRobot.
MouseRobot cannot record actions, so the user has to manually select each step.

Mouse and Key Recorder generates a script based on actions and can use relative or absolute positioning. I was able to get it to automatically attach and e-mail a file.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[VERY interesting program.
This "Object tracking" business is in my (very limited) experience a first for a macro prog, the couple of others I've tried just can't handle window moving &amp; resizing. Other progs are more versatile and powerfull in other ways but for me this prog will take care of a few important &amp; time consuming tasks.

One drawback I found was that it was very difficult to create a pause in execution so that I could examine an output window before contining the task and shutting the subject program down. In fact it took me the best part of an hour and the only method I found that worked was clunky but well...it works.

Another thing I noticed was that even a fairly simple task produced a quite large 'macro' file (~500kB) though I guess that's not a problem for most people in this day of huge disks. I guess that's the price you pay for Mouse Robot to be able to find it's "Object" wherever it is. I will definitely be using this program.

Thanks !]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I would like to say this is a great little program and it is fast and very easy to use, you just click on the + for a new action or +... for a series of actions and the you got your first step and the button or icon will be surrounded with a red square and you click the Ctrl button to select that action, you can set it for two clicks for icons opr one click for buttons and you can leave them all set at 5000 mls and when you run it after you have completed all the steps for the acyion you want to do it will be very fast. if you create an action to go to a web site it will open your browser and got to the site you set very quickly with out waiting for Iexplorer to open it will open all most instantly and just as fast it will open the web site you set. Thank you GAOTD this is a good one and I love it.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Well, I like it. I am a trainee web-site builder (with a penchant for organization, and who will soon go into business for himself), and I will say it's a pain in the butt for me navigating to the folders where the files are stored, time wise. With this program, after I skimmed through the help file, I hit the "add multiple actions" button, and 'programmed' the macro to go down to the folder where my stuff is (8 levels), open two documents to edit, and to load one of them to Firefox. After a little bit of editing in the program, I can double click the script icon on my desktop, and a few seconds later my work area is ready to go.

I had tried other types of macro programs before, but have not used them because I don't have time to learn how to do the things that this program offers to do for me in the main interface. Sure, this would not be the best for art purposes, but for mindless tasks routinely done, it rocks.

I would give this two thumbs up if I had the chance. I might even buy it for the other two computers in my house, to show my support for the company who built this.

Thanks, GAOTD. This is the most useful program for me thus far.

--My opinion, of course. I am only showing my support and appreciation, not attacking anybody.--]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I was going to get this until i read all the reviews.  I think this site is fantastic though for giving us a chance to own software for free. What finally made my mind up not to get this was reading baldedthoth's review, so keep up the good work.
