December Update

Macro Scheduler 13.0.03 Update

Build 13.0.03 is now available.

Registered Downloads | Trial Downloads

In the Macro Scheduler 13 release notes we declared a known issue with the text capture functions when used to capture from a window or rectangular screen area if the underlying window belonged to a 64 bit process. And we promised to release a fix as soon as it was made available to us.

Well I’m pleased to say it is now here. v13.0.03 includes the fixed text capture libraries which address this issue.  The number of DLLs required by compiled scripts that use the text capture functions has also been reduced.

Please note that this fix has necessitated a small change to the way point capture works in the Text Capture Code Wizard.  Nothing major - you just need to hold Shift down while pointing the mouse at the location you want to capture from.

We've also found a workaround for the annoying help system bug which was introduced by the new version of the language we use to create Macro Scheduler.   

V13.0.03 also fixes a few other small issues and you’ll find a complete list of changes here.

Upgrade Prices are 60% Off Regular Prices

I’m still getting questions about upgrade pricing.

Some people don’t seem to be aware that if they have an older version they can get version 13 for almost 60% off the regular price. Not 10%. 60%.

If you have an older version of Macro Scheduler (any version!) then right now you can purchase the upgrade to v13 at this huge discount.

What will Macro Scheduler be Automating for you this Christmas?

"Thou shalt not work on Holy Days.... therefore thou need to Automate". 

Seriously.  If you're one of the many who will be taking the day off at Christmas you need to make sure your systems will be running smoothly while you're absent.  

Businesses still need to run, orders still need to be fulfilled, backups still need to take place.

Automation lets us get stuff done while we're stuffing our faces with turkey or have our feet up in front of the TV.

So what tasks will you be giving Macro Scheduler to do this Christmas break while you're at home with the family?

Let us know.  Post a comment on our facebook page, or enter the contest above, to tell us what you will be automating this festive holiday.

End of Life for Version 9 and Lower

Just a reminder that version 9 and lower will be "end-of-lifed" on 1st January 2012.  

We do our best to support all our customers whatever version they are using. But there are only so many versions we can run. So after a few years we need to officially “end-of-life” older versions.

To that end, as of January 1st 2012 we will no longer be supporting Macro Scheduler v9 or lower.

We will continue to provide support for customers using v10 or later.  However, please note that we only maintain the most current version (currently v13).  It is well worth ensuring you have up to date maintenance to ensure you are always eligible for the latest release.

Request for Wizard Ideas

We want to add more code wizards in v13. To do that we need your feedback.

Please tell us what you would like to see.

If it is feasible we will add them to a maintenance release (i.e. a free update).

If you haven't seen the existing wizards yet, here are some videos showing them in action:

Need Help?

If there is anything you need a hand with or if you'd just like to say hello please get in touch.

We love talking about Macro Scheduler and we enjoy receiving feedback and finding out how people are using our software.

You can email us, chat with us, phone us, tweet us or "Like" our Facebook page and join in with the discussion there.  I'm also on LinkedIn.
