iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

Of course, if you still see any problems with this version, please get back to us.
The results that I get with updated iMacros are quite weird. In a fresh Firefox profile V8 Benchmark scores are as low as they were before (500 out of 3000 without iMacros). However, if I install Firebug, open its panel and enable the Script tab, performance improves considerably, though is still worse than with iMacros disabled (2000 out of 3000). Some of V8 subtests perform great, while others run slow. If after that I disable Firebug's Script tab, scores leap to their maximum 3000. If I restart the browser (Firebug installed, but Script tab disabled) -- scores are again very low (500 out of 3000). Tested both in Mac OS X and Linux with Firefox 7.01, results are attached.

Thanks! The only slowdown that I'm still seeing is when iMacros is installed alongside Firebug, whose Script tab is enabled (V8 scores 2000 out of 3000). Otherwise, performance is great :)

hi
I want to suggest the option to export the macros not only to the normal favourites but also to the favourites bar in firefox. This saves some more clicking and dragging and dropping. I think it's not that hard to implement. (...and somehow I don't want to record a macro for that ;))

it would be great if you found a way for DirectScreen on firefox... or something that simulates a click or a keystroke...

Radiobutton won't change until WAIT SECONDS=1 used before it. Noticed it couple days ago, and this bug was very frustrating, until I discovered how to fix it.

For example:

Code: Select all

TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:RADIO FORM=NAME:addProdFrm ATTR=NAME:aOption[8893][ynu]&&VALUE:no
Nothing changed.

Code: Select all

WAIT SECONDS=1
TAG POS=1 TYPE=INPUT:RADIO FORM=NAME:addProdFrm ATTR=NAME:aOption[8893][ynu]&&VALUE:no
All works fine!

P.s.: iMacros BUILD=7401110, Firefox v9.0.1 and v8.0.1, Windows 7 x64 Professional.
P.p.s.: same bug in X/Y click mode!
P.p.p.s: all pages are already loaded, when macro is running.

Hello,

I see that the bug with negative counter/timer/number still appears. I have it from time to time on my js macro but I don't know why. And I've set the js macro to restart after some period of time.

I am currently using Firefox 7.01, tweaked it quite a bit to maximize performance.
Imacros version: 7.4.0.8

Additional Addons:
Memory Fox
Jquery 1.5.2.0
GreaseMonkey 0.9.18

Firstly, i always like start off with the good news, Macros Timeout has been an invaluable feature, thank you!!!!

Secondly, No matter which page i'm on or which script is run (js. scripts to be more specific).

I get the following error in console in one form or fashion, NS_NOInterface. From what i've researched the javascript files being implemented in imacros are run in a xul environment. This appears to be the primary problem. Without a way to implement some form of conditional loops and if statements, there does not to seem to be a workaround for this, amidst programming entirely in javascript and abandoning the imacros add-on, after googling for three days.

Repeatability: every time, even with code that does implement loops, but are in javascript files. Sample, embed a simple javasript file with iimplay("some code") to login to facebook. Then check the error console. With loops this becomes ever increasing memory issuse as firefox is forced to log every error, adding an additional 200Mb footprint to my memory usage. With javascript, once a function is finished executing, the local variables are released (destroyed) upon exiting the function. Imacros does not appear to be releasing anything.

In comparison, i have intensive javascript codes executing on a permanent loop, the current memory footprint is 120M-140M, with imacros and a couple of lines embedded in a javascript loop, the memory footprint is 170M+. Memory Fox clears the memory on intervals, i can watch all of the javascript loops drop to their minimum usage while imacros jumps right back up to its max. Without memory fox, i imagine imacros would eventually crash the browser.

I do not use the imacros browser because it is based on IE platform which does not work well with pages i'm viewing, not to mention no availability for such great add-ons such as memory fox.

sincerely, a patron of your project for a long time.

Jonathan Dockery.
