Re: Tasks Split-View
Zac, I often face the same problem. I too need to copy blocks of steps from one task to another and currently this is not easy. I have to take screenshots of one task editor to compare with currently open another task to make sure I paste the steps to correct place. So, I would like to express my su...

Returns of a task started from within another task
To me 'Start task' action is very useful when the same sequence of actions is needed repeatedly in the main task. I use this functionality exactly as I would use an external function. I can easily pass several parameters to it which is incredibly convenient. Usually these tasks modify or extract var...

Copy the list of task variables to clipboard
For the window which lists task's local variables, I think, it would be useful to have an option to copy all variables to clipboard. Clipboard01.jpg I have tasks with over 50 local variables and maintaining notes for such tasks becomes increasingly more difficult - I can easily omit some of them. As...

Re: Clear Log action
Sorry, I am just curious, why right-clicking on the log panel and selecting 'Clear Log' is not enough?

Re: Position "Show Message" dialog
I would like to support the suggestion. Sometimes I use 'Show message' to pause the task when user interaction is required and the message can obstruct something on the screen. When you are automating a repetitive job, the necessity to move the window out of the way many times per task reduces the e...

Re: GoTo Action Made Dynamic
This will be a useful feature. I know I will be preaching to the choir, but want to add my tuppence worth and explain why I think it is important. I practically never use GoTo and consider it a bad practice. But I have one complicated task with almost 140 lines and many different loops, and one smal...

Re: Freeing memory while working with variables which read through large amounts of text
Just to update, I used 'Remove variable' before the very end of the loop on several variables which hold the largest amounts of text and this 1) made the task faster, 2) fixed some intermittent problems causes for which I could not understand because they were not always reproducible, 3) made the ta...

Re: Freeing memory while working with variables which read through large amounts of text
Thank you for the advice. Because of our company security policy, Robotask x64 is installed on a remote server along with many other programs and many people have access to the server, which we all access from our laptops via remote desktop. This setup also allows access to locations and files not a...
