FreeMacroPlayer 7.0.0 Beta 1

Play back the macros you created with Pitrinec Softwares macro creation tools FreeMacroPlayer is a software utility that plays back macros created in Macro ToolsWorks, MacroToolbar, ClickyMouse, Perfect Keyboard or WinScheduler macro programs.
The FreeMacroPlayer is completely free for anyone (personal use, business use, government use) and can be freely distributed without any restrictions, including distribution with other commercial products.
There are many areas where FreeMacroPlayer can be used: Simple and cheap solution for increasing employees efficiency, a companion macro solution for software products that do not support macros itself, platform for fast automation solution development and more....
Creating the FreeMacroPlayer is as easy as 1-2-3:
1. Create a macro file in one of the macro program mentioned above. *
2. Use "File/Generate FreeMacroPlayer File" menu command to generate FreeMacroPlayer .fmp file.
3. Distribute the macro file to the users.
Main features:
- Create a set of macros with defined triggers as a complete automation solution and deploy it easily on many workstation.
- Users do not need to purchase license for a macro program to be able to run created macros. FreeMacroPlayer is completely free!
- Silent installation of the FreeMacroPlayer is supported and thus FreeMacroPlayer installation on multiple workstations can be easily automated.
- Security - macro file is encrypted and thus it is not possible to view its content in other program or file viewer. The intellectual property of the macro file developer is secured as well as all sensitive information that can be eventually saved in the macro file.
- Password protection - macros can be password protected so that only authorized persons can view/run/modify them.
- Application specific macros - the same macro trigger can start different macros in different applications. This allows user to unify computer environment.
- Variety of macro triggering options allow to develop macros to automate all aspects of computer use - from text writing to computer backup.
Keyboard Triggers:
- Auto text - specify the text that you want to be able to automatically insert in other target windows (word processor, e-mail, chat, web forms, etc.). When you start typing such a text a small assistant window with selection of matching "auto text" macros is shown for fast insertion.
- Text shortcut - specify the macro text and its text shortcut (for example ".sct"). Typing the text shortcut causes the macro text replaces the text shortcut typed.
- Hot keys - specify hotkeys (for example "Ctrl+Alt+H") that cause the macro is started.
- Extended hotkeys - two hotkeys combination to trigger the macro. For example "Ctrl+Alt+H" followed by "Ctrl+1" starts one macro while "Ctrl+Alt+H" followed by "Ctrl+2" starts other macro. Improves organizing of larger number of hotkeys.
Mouse Triggers:
- Mouse button clicks - macro is started when a mouse button (left, middle, right, X1, X2) is clicked or double-clicked.
- Hold mouse button down - macro is started when a mouse button (left, middle, right, X1, X2) is held down for a while.
- Shake mouse cursor - macro is started when mouse cursor is shake horizontally or vertically.
- Move mouse cursor to screen edge - macro is started when mouse cursor is moved to a screen edge.
- Move mouse cursor to screen corner - macro is started when mouse cursor is moved to a screen corner.
Schedule Triggers:
- Time scheduled trigger - run macros at specific time, once or repeatedly every X seconds, minutes, hours, days, months. Or every Monday, Tuesday....
- Window trigger - macro is started when specified window is opened or become active (starts receiving keyboard input).
- File trigger - run macro when specified file is changed, created, deleted, become bigger or smaller than defined size.....
- Drive - macro is started when free drive space is lower than defined amount.
- Pixel trigger - macro is started when a pixel on the specified screen location changes color.
- Idle time - macro is started if there is not mouse nor keyboard activity for specified amount of time.
- Windows shutdown - macro is started when Windows is being shut down.
- And other "triggers" can be written as a repeatedly time scheduled macro that, when started, either performs or does not perform required functionality depending on the conditions evaluated (for example, some process is running, a registry key exists, etc.).
Toolbar Buttons:
- Tabbed toolbar supporting screen edge docking, auto-hiding, custom colors, automatic tab selection depending on currently active window.
- Submenus - user can define any number of submenus.
- Floating toolbars that appears when a particular application (window) is active. The flying toolbars support auto-hide and can attach to the active window.
Strong macro language with over 150 commands allows the macro developer to create all sort of macros.
- Files & Folders handling - copy/move delete files and folders. Create ZIP archives and self-executable archives. Print files.
- Send keystrokes and mouse clicks. Imitate user interaction with computer. Insert paragraphs of text while working with document editor, e-mail client, chat tool... Insert date & time automatically.
- Find an image on screen - add "eyes" to your macros, no more "blind" clicks. The command allows the macro writer to programmatically recognize objects (web images, controls, etc.) and click on them reliebaly.
- Execute other programs, run shell context menu commands, run macros in external macro files.
- Use variables to write more complex macros. Variables can be multi dimensional arrays and can be easily persisted to a file. Many variable manipulation operations are available (string operations, text operations, expression evaluation, etc.).
- Rich macro flow controls - "if-else-end", conditional and unconditional loops, "go-to", procedures, "wait", etc.
- Strong error handling - any command execution error is either immediately reported by an error message box or can be programmatically handled. This is fully up to macro designer.
- User defined message box, user defined forms (with edit controls, radio buttons, check buttons, combo boxes, etc.), user defined menus.....
- POP3 e-mail support (receive list of messages waiting on server, receive e-mail, delete e-mail). Send e-mail using SMTP or send e-mail using default e-mail client installed.
- FTP commands to download, upload, delete, etc. files.
- Manipulate windows - activate, move, resize, close, etc.
- Copy data to clipboard, empty clipboard, paste data from clipboard, save clipboard content to file load it again.
- Command macros itself - enable/disable macros, enable/disable group of macros, etc.
- Manipulate registry - read and write data from/to registry, create new registry keys, delete registry data, etc.
- Enumerate running processes, kill given process, determine whether particular process is running.
- More commands - set default printer, shutdown computer, set system time, empty recycle bin, enable/disable screensaver, and many others.
