Playback stops after few minutes on trial

Post by hansdons » Sun Jun 21, 2015 12:09 pm

Does playback stop because of a time limit in the trial or is there some other problem?

If there is a time limit, what is it?

No, there is no time limit.

Is our script stopping, or waiting half way? Or are you referring to a problem with the schedule settings?

Thanks for the quick response.

Looking at the directory where the screenshots of the recording are stored, it is clear that it is in fact the recording that stopped after a few minutes.

After a few initial tests I proceeded to record a macro that took more than an hour to complete. I stopped the macro by right-clicking on the tray icon and selecting show, after which I pressed the stop button. The dialog froze for a while and then inserted the newly recorded macro's name in the list.
At the time when I navigated to the tray icon it was still blinking, indicating that recording was still taking place.

When I started the recording I deselected window names and selected low level events since I needed to record mouse actions inside VMware Workstation virtual machines.
