WinTask is a task scheduler and automation tool for Windows users that allows you to create macros by recording your keystrokes, selections, Windows and Web actions, etc. You can use it to launch a terminal emulation package, type user ID and password, navigate through the host screens, pick up data in different screens and paste them back on your PC, and perform other operations.
v5.1 [Aug 15, 2014]
- WinTask x64 supports now Windows 2012 R2.
- Ajax automatic wait is added for Firefox and Chrome, it is not yet added for Internet Explorer : when a script starts to type into a web form and depending on what is typed, different ajax responses are displayed where a selection has to be done, the script execution waits automatically until the list is fully populated before selecting the item.
- Chrome extension has been re-written to make it available in Chrome Web Store. Google does not allow anymore extensions which are not available in their store.
- In bitmap/image wizards, a confidence recognition scale has been added, the default is 100% (so exact match). If you change the value and click Paste into the script, it inserts into the script the #BitmapPrecision line automatically.
- In the 64 bit version, one more function has been added for manipulating listboxes and comboxes exposed to UI Automation framework:
SelectUIAItem, selects an item in a list or combo specified by its UIA descriptor.
The minor fixes/enhancements included in version 5.1 are listed below:
- If a line character is found when generating an UIA descriptor, it is converted to the ? wildcard character.
- BMP files were not saved properly in bitmap wizards if the full path was not specified. Now if the path is not specified, the BMP file is saved in the current directory.
Shutdown, power off, reboot, hibernate, suspend, or log off PC at schedule time
