can't play because it isnt listed

Post by greenshield » Tue Dec 02, 2008 7:48 am

Hi!
I have a problem with my Imacros, in the fact that when I go to play the Imacros, I can't find it!
There seems to be a few things on the list like demos, and current and then one or two of my own.
But I can't seem to get a list of easily accessible websites and can just click play and get to work as the are not listed!

Could You please help me? Thank you! :D God Bless

Hello!
When you click the little icon, it opens up a list thingy that states:
record
play
and edit

Does that help at all?

Thankyou!

basically, how do you play back what you have recorded on certain websites?
I can't seem to work out how to Play and find them again.

In the Imacros browser go to Tools --> options --> paths. THere is an option called "Folder Macros" only macros in this folder will display on the left side of the iMacros browser. you can change this to point there you are saving your macros and restart it and it shoudl work.

Your other option is to find the macros with Windows Explorer and right click on them and choose open with and select imacros.

I have done a bit more research into it, and have discovered that the working files on my macros folder opens with "Windows Shell Common Dll"

But the others don't and those are the ones that don't work.

Does that help at all? :)

It sounds like you have some funky extension on those files or something. In WINDOWS (not internet WNDOWS) explorer if you go to tools --> folder options --> view is the option for "Hide extensions for known file types" checked? I think that if you uncheck this you will find that you have some bizarre extensions on your files. You can try renaming them once you have the full extension listed but that may not work. If you can't just delete them and start over I would open them in notepad, copy paste the lines and resave them into new text documents with.iim extensions.
