OpenBots Studio v1.0.5 Release Notes
[New Features]
- UI Improvements
- A breakpoint button has been added to the main toolbar to set a breakpoint on the highlighted command.
- Hotkeys have been added to set a breakpoint and enable/disable selected commands.
- Hotkeys have been added for the Project Pane’s toolstrip functionality.
- A “Clear Search” button has been added to the command search box.
- Search bars have been added to Variable and Element selection dropdowns.
- Deleting enclosing commands such as “BeginLoop” will delete all commands up to the respective End command.
- Users will now be prompted for a new file/folder name when adding one to a project.
- Dictionary variables are now supported in the debug variable viewing pane.
- Command Updates
- Updated text file commands to clarify when a file is being Created/Written.
- Added a CompressFiles command to assist with manipulation of .zip files.
- External Script Support
- Users can now add external scripts to projects and open them in the Studio.
- External scripts not currently in the opened project directory can be manipulated.
- Settings Update
- Removed Local Listener and Server settings, as those are going to be fulfilled by an upcoming accompanying tool.
- Invalid path characters are now replaced with safe equivalents during the saving of Outlook MailItems.
- Double Click actions in the Web/Element Recorders are now properly registered.
- The Web/Element Recorders no longer overwrite selectors with a single found selector.
- The ExtractFiles Command has been updated and corrected.
- WordCreateApplication Command now has a New/Open Document dropdown.
- ReadPDFText is not currently able to access its .jar file. We are going to be re-writing the command to utilize a different method.
- The Remote Desktop Manager does not currently save the entered information. This form is currently the subject of a refactor operation.
- The Remote Desktop commands in the System category do not properly initialize an RDC session.
- Using SendAdvancedKeystrokesCommand will restore a window to its default size if previously maximized.
- Code from OpenBots versions prior to v1.0.4 is currently incompatible with v1.0.4+ due to major namespace changes. This can be corrected with a bit of elbow grease, but users with large projects should ideally wait until a conversion patch is published.
- Variables created during command execution are not visualized in the Variable Manager/Helper.
- Errors in user scripts are currently only known during execution. Further validation could be provided to end users during command creation.
- User is unable to select the default “My Scripts” folder location.
- Inability to drag/drop commands from Command pane.
- ActivateWindowCommand not properly bringing windows to the foreground.
