User Suggestion for future release

I have MSCHED loaded via Windows startup and then also have a number of Scripts loaded via shortcuts. I may end up with a situation of one "Inactive" gray icon and three "Working" yellow icons flashing in my system tray.

It would be nice to have the cursor rollover popup display the name of the active script on yellow icons rather than just "Macro Scheduler 7.2". This would be particularly good for figuring out which script blew up and/or to help decide which to manually quit prior to termination.

Thanks

Dave

Why not setting/getting the status in/from an ini?

Status.ini

[CurrentScriptsRunning]
Number=0

Script1.scp

Code: Select all

ReadIniFile>C:\Test\Status.ini,CurrentScriptsRunning,Number,number
Add>number,1
EditIniFile>C:\Test\Status.ini,CurrentScriptsRunning,Number,%number%
.
.
.

Label>Exit
ReadIniFile>C:\Test\Status.ini,CurrentScriptsRunning,Number,number
Sub>number,1
EditIniFile>C:\Test\Status.ini,CurrentScriptsRunning,Number,%number%

I think dbish's idea is a great one. At times (rare, but it happens), my normal icon is flashing but I don't think any macro is running. Wouldn't want to run another macro while a questionable is running, might change conditions.

BTW....Is there already a temp file called status.ini? I have never seen/heard of that. Location?
