Re: Hide iMacros sidebar while macro running?
Is it now possible to hide the sidebar or still not?
Re: Hide iMacros sidebar while macro running?
Or: is it possible to CLOSE the sidebar at least?
I have installed a scheduled job with MSTask to run a backup with iMacros, but it won't run a second time, because the iMacros Sidebar is open. If I close this manually and run the task, the iMacros-Script for backup works, but not if it ran already and the sidebar is still open.
So now I am searching for a way to close this sidebar in the end of my script. I don't find...

I know f8 closes the sidebar and it can close it while a macro is runningfranc wrote:Or: is it possible to CLOSE the sidebar at least?

Re: Hide iMacros sidebar while macro running?
Hi all,
this topic has not been updated for a while and it seems the developers stopped updating it also. Does anyone know if this feature is availiable?
I have a dashboard that needs to run on a continuous loop, and it is not helpful having the sidebar blocking part of the screen. Is it now possible to run the macro with the sidebar closed/invisible?
I see that it is possible while Play(Loop) is running, but not simply during play. I am using a .js file to run the macro, which loops the macro for me, which of course you cannot run uner Play(Loop). Running simply under Play stops the macro when closing the sidebar.

Hi,
I believe so far you can have the sidebar closed in iMacros Browser only, using kioskmode.
Best regards,

thanks, but slightly different from the below from earlier in this thread:

Yes, we have plans to add it to Firefox and Chrome, too. However, our todo list is big, so it might take another 2-3 months before we can address it.

Re: Hide iMacros sidebar while macro running?
Hi guys
For this issue, i accidentally found a gift-trick on Firefox iMacros Addon, to hide the sidebar while iMacros runs.
Instead running macros directly you must setup a file type .Js (see Self-test.js file inside the Demo-Firefox Folder) to run the macros. Change the default macrolist array about your needs and than run your js file. After starting, if you click iMacros icon, you can see that sidbar is hidden but script still runs. I tested it several times and always works.
I use macros to capture webpages screenshots and now i can finally take it full-size large pages.
Configuration:
Mac Leopard
Firefox 12.0
iMacros 7.4.0.8
Here my sample code, as you can see it runs several macros focused on travel sites:

Re: Hide iMacros sidebar while macro running?
Hi folks,
Appreciate this is an old thread, and can see feature promises dating back a few years: did the ability get added whereby we can hide the sidebar as part of the imacro / js / script / etc?
I have been unable to find any such command / method thus far and would greatly appreciate any tips / updates - I'm sure someone must have figured this out / I must have missed an article somewhere?
Many thanks,
Amit

Re: Hide iMacros sidebar while macro running?
I have found the solution, since the key F8 is hiding the sidebar, we can hit/call F8 with this code:
Simply add it at the very beginning
Code: Select all
EVENT TYPE=KEYPRESS KEY=119

Yep, correct indeed, I posted the same Solution/Workaround nearly 2 years ago in this other Thread:Tanckom wrote:I have found the solution, since the key F8 is hiding the sidebar, we can hit/call F8 with this code:
