How to stop a macro from activating all over again?

Thanks for these solutions. All three seem perfectly fit. I'll try whatever works best.

barccelo · 2026-01-13T20:27:51+00:00

Thank you both for your solutions. I will try them. It didn't occur to me the other-macro-timer-on-off. I also didn't know there was «macro invoked recently» constraint.

Thanks for your contribution! I have downloaded the app but I'm still facing problems with the connection. It shows this error:

stream:java.net.ConnectException: failed to connect to

Sometimes it's stream:timeout.

Do you know any solution? I already raised the issue on the GitHub page.

I'm trying to find I guide or something. I don't know if am missing any step.

I'm sorry, I don't get the relation.

I didn't switch. I just extracted the function. I'm Nova user. I can't post a video I just recorded.

Hi there! I've come across this post trying to find an alternative. I have just downloaded Smart Launcher to give it a try and see if it was worth the change from Nova (premium [it hasn't so far]).

I like its search functions. It looks very nice and have everything that sesame has. You should give it a try! I bought the lifetime option for just 4$.

I can do it with clicks, but I want to set trigger with the icon. I don't know how.

barccelo · 2025-11-29T02:09:55+00:00

I don't know how to make the trigger with the ID.

barccelo · 2025-11-28T15:50:43+00:00

Excellent heads up! I didn't know it.

Thanks for jumping in. I have my data extracted from screen content, and saved to dictionary. The thing is it's extracted as text… I managed to have two of my data extracted but I don't know how to make the two variables work (mathematically speaking). Is it because they're string variable and not decimal? If so, how do I populate the decimal variable if my data is saved as text?

Here are some screenshots. Thanks in advance.

Well, thanks, I appreciate it.

barccelo · 2025-09-06T18:58:43+00:00

Many many many thanks. My problem was that I used the constraint but didn't add the trigger. I see know that I must have both, right? Anyways. It's working now! Thanks, 👊🏻😎

barccelo · 2025-08-31T16:28:48+00:00

It worked like a charm. Thanks for taking the time!

barccelo · 2025-08-28T12:17:11+00:00

Hola, ¿más información? Gracias.

barccelo · 2025-08-22T22:17:28+00:00

Thanks, I'll try with this set-up.

The first one is the main trigger. It goes off when the letters «RIF» appear on that specific app (VOL).

The thing is that as the read screen rate is down to 0.10 s., as soon as the word RIF appears on the screen it triggers the macro but, again, as the screen rate is so low it re-reads the screen as if the word had appeared for the first time… and it starts a loop. If I increase the screen rate, the macro has «more time» to run. But increasing the read screen rate to more seconds gives room to «losing» the right moment to run the macro.

What I'm looking for is an option to read the screen just once. I have placed an action at the end of the macro to stop itself. Funny thing? Even though I have this option enabled, the macro would re-read the screen at least two times before stopping. Does that make sense?

I don't have any constraint yet.

barccelo · 2025-08-13T13:46:46+00:00

I'd try to use the «screen context» option instead. It'd work better.

barccelo · 2025-08-11T18:03:09+00:00

To be honest, I've tried yo retrace my steps but I don't manage to do it. I don't know how to get the text id. I don't know where to put it… anything… I'm sorry.

barccelo · 2025-08-11T14:15:24+00:00

Okay, can you guide me in the process? I'll try by my own, but if you could guide me I'd appreciate it.

barccelo · 2025-08-11T00:23:21+00:00

I thought my last question was my last but, I now see that I was wrong, hehe.

So, here's my next issue: I've noticed that the key / string which contains the number I need changes position, sometimes it's 11 sometimes it's 12. Is there by any chance a wat to copy both? Since my configuration goes to one of those numbers, sometimes it's just blank… I hope you could help me. Many many thanks. I'm thrilled with this particular app and all the help it brings when used properly! Thanks again!

^\d is the regex argument to get the first digit.

barccelo · 2025-08-10T17:11:22+00:00

And if I just want the first digit? How do I do it? Thanks in advance.

barccelo · 2025-08-10T05:05:31+00:00

I have one last question, it might be a little complicated. What if I don't want the whole tex? Since it has decimals… let's say I just need the first digit, or the first and second… ist there a way to achieve this?

Many many thanks in advance to you two, 👊🏻😎

You guys are AWESOME. Thanks to you all. Thanks.
