Temp Fix Inside:Error message stealing window focus.
I was wondering if this would be possible to fix in any way.
I have it set up so my script runs through on a different browser window then the one I have open. I've tagged in the SET !ERRORIGNORE YES message so that it continues on even when it runs into an error on the page because it will not effect the results so much in what I have it doing. However, the problem I'm having is if I have I'm browsing and the window with imacros running pops an error message it steals focus from the page I'm reading my news on or doing other things.
This gets very annoying after long periods of time because I'm constantly switching back to my other window.
Let me know.
Thanks
UPDATE: SiebenDX has come up with a work around to get this to ignore the pink box until the developers find a fix for it, please read below.

Yeah that pink box
Yeah, that pink box keeps poppin up and stealing focus on my browser window.
The only option I have to browse without it stealing focus is if I use Internet Explorer while it runs in firefox.

I've found a workaround. I simply deleted the error reporting script in the source code. Now it works fine for me.
I will show you how to do this. (I hope the iOpus team allows this to me)
First, you have to find the location of you iMacros installation.
On Windows Vista you find it here:
On XP you will find this somewhere in the "Documents and Settings" folder.
In this folder you should find the file "imacros.jar". (If you dont find it, just search it with the windows search)
If you found the imacros.jar, simply rename it to "imacros.zip" and extract it into a new folder named "imacros".
Now switch into this folder and you will find 2 new folders: "Content" and "Locale"
Switch into the Content folder and open the file "rec.js" with notepad (or another text editor)
search for "error.xul" and you will find the code line:
Cut this line completely and save the file.
Now you have to zip the 2 folders into a new zip archive (imacros.zip)
After this, rename the imacros.zip to imacros.jar and you are done!
Start the Firefox with iMacros and no error messages will appear.
I hope you understand my bad english

aq=wnd.openDialog('chrome://imacros/content/error.xul','','dependent=yes,titlebar=no');

SiebenDX... problem with your method
SiebenDX I've tried your method but there is a problem after I restart firefox.
I've removed the line as you've mentionned but when I restart my firefox, the imacro icon doesn't appear anymore while the status [lower part of browser] of firefox becomes 4 time bigger.Strange thing we I've re-added the line and everything works back fine except that I'm still annoyed by that pink box.
I'm using Windows XP with firefox 2.0.0.11 with the latest imacro for firefox.
Regards.

Make sure you properly zipped the file. If you open your zipped file, you should have the content and locale folders showing. The first time I did this, I zipped the folder above those two folders which caused the exact same problem you had. Also make sure if you zip the file to rename it to have the jar extension.
