@sampleuserhere You cannot get console output from these options (and other alternative libraries I have changed). To return a value you can build up a string and ensure the sting is the last entry in the script.

The submitted bug report seems to have only no JavaScript action within it, so either you sent the wrong macro (or much more likely) there is an issue with exporting JavaScript. I've run out of time to look at this now, but I will resume this when I get back from my break.

This works, thanks!

Sure no problem. Anyway, here's the screenrecord when it happened. The app at the bottom is a logcat reader app.

ver. 5.38.2
I encountered an import error.
Is that only my case?

I tried to import a macro from the internal storage on my device. But it got error "can't import".

What should I do now?

Regarding the new Fold State trigger: I'm not sure if this is a MacroDroid or Android (13) thing, but it results in unexpected behavior.

I have one macro using the new trigger that plays a sound when the device is flipped open. I noticed that periodically the sound would play when the device was just lying there open. Checking the system log revealed that the sound macro had indeed triggered. I eventually noticed that when this happened, MD was no longer in 'recent apps.' I created a workaround (below), but it seems odd that it's even necessary.

For the 'If' use anything that will always test true; I chose ADB Hack for Read_Logs.

NOTE: This only kills the sound from playing when Recent Apps is cleared manually. The random sound playing when Android periodically does its thing still exists, but this proves why it's happening.

Updated to beta 5.38.9 and having a few issues.

I use the check text on screen action with case insensitive enabled.

That worked in 5.38.8

However, in 5.38.9 it always returns false, even when the correct text is on the screen.

Enabling regular expression and the check screen action returns the correct state.

Has anybody else had issues with check text on screen in 5.38.9?

Magic texts "String variable length" and "String variable value" both generate [strlen...] (impossible to generate [strval...]: must be typed).

I noticed that with v5.38.8 but could have happened earlier.

This time I just found a issue with Option dialog on v5.38.10 😉

Dialog message field is displayed with Html tags: spaces converted to "&nbsp;", \n displayed as "<br/>"...

All other fields are ok (displayed correctly)

Shell script action in 5.38.10 now outputs newline, that's a great news. There is this behaviour with the said action when the output contains '\n', '\n' will be converted into newline automatically.

I wonder if it's possible to remove this behaviour as well?

I reported the bug so now it's fixed.

I asked @MacroDroidDev to be able to use \ to use literal characters but he didn't agree because it wouldn't be backwards compatible.

Yes. Now layout is kind of mess compared to previous version. Hard to read specially when output screen text dictionary.

Hello,
when I select the incoming notifications, I always have to tick the individual apps, can you add entering the packagenames so that you can then also enter the packagenames in an array?

I mean in the Condition -> Notification available.

Thanks for the great work.

IMG_20231125_203501.jpgWhen my phone is in landscape mode, the screen slide trigger in the top left corner is not positioned at the edge of the screen. I have noticed this issue while playing games, as it interferes with my tapping actions. I often need to tap in that area 2 to 3 times for the game to respond to my input. Adding constraints to the trigger does not work because it simply interferes with screen taps without being triggered. There is no indication of it in the MacroDroid logs. Please fix this issue. Thank you.

Hello everyone, I've been using this EXCELLENT APP with many exceptional features for some time now, but after the last update I don't know, I can't change the floating button icon anymore, what happened, could it be a bug? I'm waiting for a possible update on this issue, thank you.
