Having a problem with Set Current Folder. I am trying to move or copy selected files from one folder to another and the Set Current Folder doesnt't change to the specified folder and the macro simply creates a copy in the original folder. In the prior version of Robotask this macro worked fine. Using Windows 10 with Robotask current version

Could you send the problem task?
Or some simple example with same problem.

Set current folder action changes the folder for RoboTask process only. Not for Windows Explorer or for system or other Windows Application.
The problem is that every Windows application can have its own current folder.
So this step has no sense in context of your task.
Look at the corrected below
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu
Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
Do not forget to enable the task after importing.
Now you can select necessary files in Windows Explorer and press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+C to run the task.
Code: Select all
