2 Questions Re Actions: For Peter

[peternlewis]

@Clint

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.

The default timeout is 99 hours.

@Clint

Apropos to this Q: Can the amount of time be adjusted (without adding a Pause Until action, for example).

Yes, in the action (gear) menu.

@Clint

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?

I don't understand most of this paragraph.

The RetryLoop action does not have any limits. It does not have a timeout, since its action is immediate. It simply restarts executing actions from the start of the surrounding loop.

@Clint

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?

The Continue Loop, Break From Loop, Retry Loop, refer to the surrounding loop (or currently, surrounding Group, but that is a bug), or failing that, to the macro as a whole.

So in your example, the Retry Loop action would execute the first action of the macro next and continue from there. Except that it will never execute since the Cancel All Macros action will cancel all the macros, including this one, so the last two actions will never run.
