The Fine Print

Karl M. I downloaded and installed a trial. But it says "The evaluation period has EXPIRED" and therefore I can't evaluate it.

What is the advantage over "RoboTask" and over "AutoHotkey"?

Feb 1 at 2:21am

Gintaras Didzgalvis Usually it happens if this program was installed on your computer in the past. I'll send you a temporary registration code.

All 3 programs - RoboTask, AutoHotkey and Quick Macros are good and powerful. There are many similar features and many different features. I recommend to try all 3 programs and decide which is best for you.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 1 at 2:56am

Karl M. Maybe I installed a trial in the past -- I can't remember.

Can you tell me in short the different features to RoboTask and AutoHotkey?

Thanks.

Feb 1 at 3:34am

Gintaras Didzgalvis I tested these programs in the past, but don't use them now, therefore cannot say exactly what are the differences. If compared with AHK, QM has more convenient user interface. But AHK is more popular, eg more active forum. If compared with RoboTask, QM is more powerful (when I tested), for example you can easily use all Windows API. But RoboTask probably is easier to learn and has more UI.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 1 at 3:47am

Karl M. Gintaras,

thank you for sending a temporary registration code.

Yes, RoboTask is easier to learn but my feeling is too that Quick Macros is more powerful. And RoboTask is much to expensive.

I will get this deal for sure. Do we get lifetime updates? And is it really a "family license"?

Feb 1 at 6:22am

Gintaras Didzgalvis Quick Macros exists now more than 10 years, and updates always were and will be free. With single license you and your family can use this program on all your computers.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 1 at 6:32am

Karl M. Thanks. This is really a generous license policy. And for this price it's a real no-brainer.

Feb 1 at 6:54am

Roberto Gintaras gives a splendid support to his tool. Great product.

Feb 1 at 10:02am

ron r This macro tool is !extremely! powerful and can almost anything if you put the time into it. You are not "confined" to developing macros, the macros themselves can be made so complex they border more on mini applications than to be called "macro's"

Everything is packed into one environment and the IDE has some really smart en helpful features.

At 40$ it is a very good deal, at 20$ a must have.
(generous license, can create EXE,...)

I have tried several macro tools and I got really suprised that one of the most powerful macro tools was offered here on BDJ (I never expected this to happen here on BDJ).

The only "downside" is that it takes more time to get to learn to create macros with QM compared to some other macro tools.
But if you stick to it, you'll see how powerful it is and it can almost be addictive just to see what you can do with this...

And I always get fast and helpful response in the QM forum.
And the license doesn't constrict you like some other programs do, the author of QM is actually quite generous.

But this is just my 2 cents.

Feb 2 at 10:07am

Retired Engineer A question about mouse macros.

In all other similar macro tools I've used, when I create a mouse macro the mouse cursor is not moved to the final mouse position, where it is when I create the macro.

Does QM support movement of the cursor to where I expect to see it?

Feb 3 at 9:50am

Paul S. Is it possible with QM to read sequentially a textfile (not necessary in CSV-format), proces the lines and writing the result to anothet new file?
In pseudocode:
while not EOF inputfile
begin
begin read(inputfile) into stringvariable
process stringvariabele - outputvariable
write outputvariable to outputfile
end

Thanks in advance for your answer.
Paul

Feb 3 at 10:00am

Gintaras Didzgalvis QM moves mouse cursor exactly to the specified point. If the point is not in the area where you could manually move, moves to the nearest point.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 3 at 10:05am

Gintaras Didzgalvis It's possible with functions of File class, or with Windows API functions. But usually it is easier to read whole file into a variable (getfile), process lines and write to a file (setfile). Will need to write code; there are no dialogs that create such code.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 3 at 10:13am

Gintaras Didzgalvis Code example:
str s1 s2 s ;;variables
s1.getfile("file1")
foreach s s1 ;;for each line
,out s ;;show in QM output
,s2.addline(s)
s2.setfile("file2")

Example with CSV:
ICsv c1._create c2._create
c1.FromFile("file1")
int i; str s0
for i 0 c1.RowCount
,s0=c1.Cell(i 0)
,out s0
,c2.AddRowSA(-1 1 &s0)
c2.ToFile("file2")

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 3 at 10:16am

RCG I don't really need this kind of program right now. However, the terms of the licence are so good, I will invest for the future. Lifetime updates really do make this a no brainer. Thanks.

Feb 4 at 3:06am

Karl M. I don't really need it too, but just purchased.

I'm going to use it as an "Autotext" app like AutoHotkey and "PhraseExpress", which is quite good but very expensive.

Hopefully the Autotext part of QM will be improved in the future.

Feb 4 at 4:24am

winton guy Just bought this using paypal and share-it! now says my order has been delayed. "A review of your order is required" they say.

First time this has happened to me on BDJ.

here is what they said:

Your order for "Quick Macros" (order number 43568XXXX has been received
and is being verified by our team. Your order will most likely be processed
within the next 4 hours, but in no case will it take more than 24 hours.

hope this is sorted soon. What happens if this goes into the ether?

Feb 4 at 4:39am

Gintaras Didzgalvis Sometimes share-it fails to process an order automatically. Then they review it manually. Please wait several hours. If no response, please email me.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 4 at 4:48am

guan daviv thanks to anydoby

Feb 4 at 5:15am

File Manager "The evaluation period has expired".
How???

And a real, important question: can't find a word on 'mouse wheel support'. Is there one? If not, is it possible or planned?

Is there a way to program a sequence like
mov 1 - x / perform some tasks
mov 2 - x+ 2 / perform other tasks
mov 3 - x+ 3 / perform other tasks
mov 4 - x+ 4 / perform other tasks, finish the sequence, loop to 1

being 'x' a screen coordinate and (+ y) an offset value?

Currently I use Easy Macro Recorder and XYplorer (with or without combinations between them) to automate several tasks. It's a winner except for those occasions where mouse wheel movement should be recorded.

Thanks.

Feb 4 at 8:54am

Gintaras Didzgalvis I'll send you a temporary registration code.

There is function MouseWheel. And a mouse wheel trigger.

Mouse movements, variables and repeating are supported.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 4 at 9:04am

Gintaras Didzgalvis To find available functions, there are better ways than searching Help file, because many functions are documented not there. In the main window, there is an edit field by the ? button. Type a question and press Enter. It will find all available functions, dialogs and Help topics.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 4 at 9:18am

Karl M. I searched for "mouse wheel" but didn't find anything about mouse wheel functions.

Feb 4 at 9:33am

Gintaras Didzgalvis Search from the main window. See my previous post.

Other way to find functions: Type . (dot) in the macro. It shows a list of categories, like "mouse", "window", "file". Double click a category...

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 4 at 9:37am

Retired Engineer I am having the same "PayPal transaction for your order xxx has been delayed" problem. My bank says PayPal is having problems establishing a connection with them. (It's Monday, right?)

I'd be happy with a temporary registration code until PayPal gets their computers reconnected.

Feb 4 at 9:42am

Gintaras Didzgalvis If Quick Macros works, ie is not expired, you don't need a code. If expired, please email me.

The 50% discount will be available here tomorrow too. February 4 and 5.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 4 at 9:47am

Jim Parker Have you ever done a comparison between Quick Macros and Macro Express Pro ( http://www.macros.com )?
The two pieces of software seem very similar. Since I'm already licensed with Macro Express I'd like to hear about differences to see if there are features QM does that ME doesn't. I don't have time to do a trial while this is on sale, so am really interested to see what types of comparisons you've already done.

Feb 4 at 10:55am

Gintaras Didzgalvis I did not test recent versions.

One of main differences of Quick Macros and many other macro programs like Macro Express is that QM is not limited to the predefined set of macro commands. It is a fusion of a macro program and a programming language. QM fully supports API and COM. If you don't find a function for something, you can create it (need some programming skills), or may find in the forum, or request to be created for you (in the forum).

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 4 at 11:24am

Stefan Tester This looks very well, i am just buying it.
I will use this for file management and text processing.
Normally i would do this with AHK or VBS or JS.
But this tool comes with an full IDE so it will be more handy to use.
Thanks for the deal!

Feb 4 at 12:15pm

DroidLuvr Wow - I'll have to agree with a couple of customers above... From the rave reviews here, the generosity of the license policy, and the obvious responsiveness of the developer, I'm in for today's BDJ even though I don't currently have a "need" for this either. I'm sure I'll be able to use it in the future, though, once I've mastered that "learning curve" :-D

Feb 4 at 12:39pm

D Taylor I'm sure that I'm already going to purchase, but want to get clarification on the licensing.

In the Fine Print tab it states (3rd bullet item):
"Each license allows installation on a single computer and a laptop, but Quick Macros may not be used at exactly the same time on each of them."

But further down it (3rd bullet from the bottom) has a link to "Review the Full License details..". After clicking this link, section 2 of License Agreement states:
"A registered copy of the software may either be used by a single person who uses the software personally on up to 5 computers, or used on a single computer by multiple people nonsimultaneously."

So, which is it 2 or 5? I just want to make sure that I purchase the correct number of licenses.

Many thanks!

Feb 4 at 12:42pm

Roberto @D Taylor

Look at Quick Macros website:

Can I use Quick Macros on my 2 computers with same registration code? Or 1 at home and 1 at work?

A. Yes, if only you use these computers. Read Quick Macros license agreement. Here "you" means "you and your family members". Don't give your registration code to others, as it may be disabled.

I think few developers are so kind with their licenses, IMHO any customer doing a fair use should not be worried.

Feb 4 at 12:52pm

Gintaras Didzgalvis The later is more correct.

If you purchase a license for yourself, you and your family members can use it on all your 5 personal computers, possibly simultaneously.

But if you purchase a license for a company, everybody in the company cannot use single license.

Just a standard license.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 4 at 12:54pm

Robert W Thank you for offering such a great deal. I purchased a copy, and have already converted some of my very, very simple macros into using Quick Macros.

Can Quick Macros be run from a portable USB flash drive?

Feb 4 at 3:35pm

Graeber Jordan Graeber Jordan I just downloaded and then tried to purchase the software with my credit card. I have no indication that the transaction went through. I want this email to remind you that I tried to buy it. If the charge does not process. I will contact you.

Feb 4 at 4:10pm

Gintaras Didzgalvis There are 2 portable QM extensions:
http://www.quickmacros.co...f=2&t=3224

Next QM version probably will have an official easy-to-use portable version.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 4 at 9:07pm

bvssunnydale How would you recommend a non-coder learn this? I've downloaded similar programs only to be overwhelmed by the programming/script minutia that you have to know/learn to be able to use it effectively? I've never been able to make it work. Is there a book, blog, site? (This is a serious question, I'd love to learn how to use something like this). Thx.

Feb 4 at 9:37pm

Stefan Tester I am having the same "PayPal transaction for your order xxx has been delayed 4 to 24 hours" problem.

And also i want to say Thank You for the lifetime license.

Further i too wants to have a "native" portable mode please.
)do that workaround from the forum still works?)
Because i work with different pcs and VPCs often und it would be nice if i just could copy my QM folder around and also carry it on my thump drive.

Good work Gintaras!
I will be sure to meet your forum soon :-)

Feb 4 at 9:38pm

Gintaras Didzgalvis Nobody can learn everything, quickly. But to start using simpler things you don't have to learn much. For example, start from recording, using code dialogs, editing something in the code. When you need something more, you can find/try/learn it. To find info, use the "Search Help and tools" feature. Use forum.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 4 at 9:54pm

Gintaras Didzgalvis These portable extensions work, but they are not optimized, for example uses registry, temporary files on the PC, uses various workarounds. Also they are not enough tested. And not very easy to use. I would recommend to wait for the 'native' version. Should be released until summer.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 4 at 10:02pm

Gintaras Didzgalvis It seems about 1/3 share-it orders are processed manually, and you then have to wait. But they process almost all orders, sooner or later, if possible.

Please email me if you don't hear anything from share-it for several hours, or if you don't want to wait.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 4 at 10:39pm

Frank Stephens bvssunnydale, there are a great many Windows macro/automation packages. Quick Macros is one which uses its own programming language. Those can be powerful, but hard to learn and use. I never need Windows automation, but I prefer WinAutomation for ease-of-use. The really easy way is to record a macro and then replace most of it with guided scripting. The downside is that it's expensive. Most people don't need the Professional edition, but if you do, it's really expensive. You should have only one macro / automation package installed at a time, they can interfere with each other. Quick Macros is available at a great price, but is up against heavy competition. I could be like others and get a copy "just in case", but I'll probably never use it, so it would make more sense to buy it if and when I need it.

Feb 4 at 11:59pm

Nico Westerdale Great News! quickmacros has agreed to extend this deal for another day - Enjoy!

BitsDuJour Admin - Feb 5 at 12:11am

Roberto WinAutomation is easier to learn, but maybe quite less powerful and "slower" than QM, WA lacks of important features like forms, toolbars creation, and its a closed macro "language" (just choose actions from the gui).

I own WA pro but when i want a fast macro I use QM. Just check the launch time speed of both programs, QM works like a charm.

I have AHK installed too, but i'm not fluent with it (awesome software is created with AHK too).

IMHO, quick macros is a must have.

PD: WA and QM live in my tray bar without any issues

Feb 5 at 12:23am

John Deing Hi there, can i use this tool to create GUIs like i can with AutoHotkey?
I mean, can i create a UI with ListView or text area, DropDown menus, check boxes, radio buttons, multi tabs and like this?
Are there examples of what can be done? Maybe videos?
If yes, then i would do my little helper programs with QM.

Feb 5 at 12:36am

Gintaras Didzgalvis Yes, you can create dialogs with the dialog editor.

Working with simple controls such as edit, button, checkbox, combobox is quite easy.

You can also use any other controls, eg listview, tab control, but for it will need API-level programming (all reference is in MSDN Library).

Multiple pages supported. Menus supported, although currently there is no visual editor.

All info about creating dialogs is in the Help file. Many examples in the forum. All the floating toolbar dialogs are created in this way; the source code is in the System folder in QM. No videos.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 5 at 12:48am

George Butel Can I set it up to do something like this easily: suppose I've ripped a cd, and forgot to set the naming to [artist] - [track name], and it came out as [track number] - [track name]. Can I set up a macro to go through the files and change all the [track numbers] in the file names to [artist] (or whatever else I choose)?

Feb 5 at 12:55am

Gintaras Didzgalvis You can, but not very easily. If it's difficult, please post in Quick Macros forum.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 5 at 1:00am

Bertie Brummel Thanks to Mr. Didzgalvis for a generous licensing policy and being so responsive. I licensed the program though the learning curve might be a long run for an old chap like me ;-)

Feb 5 at 1:18am

Brad I Hi, just bought yesterday and my first macro worked well. I am currently working through my second one and trying to learn the "err" function.

Otherwise very quick stuff. Thanks

Feb 5 at 7:44am

Matei Mincu I wanted to stop using the software, obtained some time ago now free (giveaway 1.6)! Today I bought the lifetime license. Thus, I will receive future updates
Thanks for this opportunity!

Feb 5 at 9:20am

DroidLuvr @Gintaras Didzgalvis:

I tried to purchase your software yesterday, with the lifetime option, but I received a "review needed" for my order from Share-It as some comments above have also mentioned.

I didn't worry about it much, as that has happened to me here before, and I have always gotten a confirmation within a few hours. However, this morning, I received a notice that my order was cancelled (reason unknown...) Today, I attempted to reorder and received the same notice. I have been in contact with Share-It, but have not yet been able to resolve this matter.

I'm afraid to reorder again as I don't want multiple charges piling up, but I also don't want to lose the opportunity to buy at your awesome discount here! Do you have any suggestions for me?

Thank you -- for this offer and for helping with my problem paying for it!

Feb 5 at 5:56pm

Steven Avery Hi,

Here is a question. Clipboard and Paste software varies as to RTF (rich text format, color font, capabilities).

How about macro software ? If you want to use it to paste in RTF it has no native method ? You would have to have the text stored or created somewhere for the macro to handle ? Is this a practical limitation on some types of use ? Is it the same for almost all macro software ?

I realize this does not affect a lot of normal use, such as filling in web forms. However, inquiring minds.

Your program does look good, and the forum is fine.

Steven

Feb 5 at 11:21pm

Gintaras Didzgalvis Need to explicitly specify that you want to copy or paste in RTF format.

str s ;;variable
s.getsel(0 "Rich Text Format") ;;copy RTF
s.setsel("Rich Text Format") ;;paste RTF

Example:
http://www.quickmacros.co...f=1&t=4480

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 5 at 11:31pm

Steven Avery Hi,

Nice response. Thanks Thinking.

Ok went for it. I had long considered that I should do stuff with AutoHotkey or this and that, however yours looks like a nice middle ground, easy interface, forum, good license etc. so that you made the commercial product more than acceptable.

Checked the Donationcoder discussion too, they did not say much, but did confirm solid, a bit opaque on the language, (which is always true with a good language), but a generally fine alternative, especially in an area where many of the programs are fairly high $$. Looks like a nice balance.

Steven

Feb 5 at 11:57pm

DroidLuvr Hi, Gintaras:

I didn't get a response from you (see two posts above) and even with my emails to and from Share-It, I have not yet received a license. How can I purchase with the discount now that the "buy now" won't work? (I would like to use my PayPal account, but I could do another form of payment if needed...)

Feb 6 at 6:06pm

Gintaras Didzgalvis I did not find your name or email in Share-it reports of successful+unsuccessful orders. I need to know your order details - name, email. Please email me, http://www.quickmacros.com/support.html.

I've sent you email after your previous post, to the address used with BitsDuJour. Look in spam folders. If email does not work, you can post a private message in Quick Macros forum, my username there is Gintaras.

quickmacros Vendor - Feb 6 at 10:08pm

DroidLuvr Hi, Gintaras:

Thank you! I received your email and have sent you a response with my personal email address that I used to order!
