I have used the "Record" feature of KM to build a macro to perform three mouse clicks my software requires (Gemini) when deleting duplicated files. The macro works except for the last needed mouse click, which is to remove the "Congratulations" window. Once that is gone I can continue with deleting files. Here is the macro.
What am I doing wrong? Why won't "Type the Escape Keystroke" cause the "Congratulations window to close. Or, how can I instruct the macro to close that irritating "Congratulations" window?
PS I added the delay actions myself to the recorded macro.
“Set Simulate Normal Keystroke Delay” is, I believe, for the delay between multiple keystrokes, as in “Insert text by typing”. What you probably want is “Pause” of .5 seconds (or however long it takes).
You could also try “Press a button” with the name of “Done” and see if that works. Again, make sure you pause long enough for it to finish.
It’s been mentioned on this forum more than once that those settings are generally best left alone. Can’t remember why but a search of the forum would probably tell you.
So I strongly recommend using the standard “Pause” action - that’s what most people do.
Of course, now that I’ve said this, someone will come along and prove me wrong, but in this case, I think I’m on solid ground.
And yes, this won’t be the first or last time you miss something like the action “Pause”. Just get used to it. There are, after all, over 250 actions, and that’s not even taking into account all the options many of the actions have.
If you ever find that your mouse clicks don't work, perhaps because the position of whatever you click on has changed, be aware that there are other avenues, including "Click on found image" and other more esoteric things. So if it breaks in the future, perhaps this knowledge will help. If not, you know where to find us!
