V5.52 - Feedback

[MacroDroidDev]

I very much appreciate the extra information that the enable/disable trigger action displays! Would it be possible to do something similar with the UI Click trigger?

There is no way to tell at a glance whether it's a long or short click. I have a macro that contains both and the text clicked is identical so I would really like this

Sure I will add an indication in the next update when long click is selected.

I shall take a look and try to resolve.

maybe he wasnt considering padding

If to run the action 'wait' for a time and check the 'use alarm', and then after some time to close the macro, that alarm should be closed too. And usually it is done. But sometimes it may remain to be active. So, the macro is ended, but the alarm icon remains to indicate the alarm present. And the system does see that this alarm is present and does react (or some apps that deal with it). I cannot see its duration, cannot open it or disable. No way. If to point the alarm icon on the bar, then there may nothing happen (basically) or simply open Macrodroid (rare). Anyway, I can only restart the phone to remove the alarm. May Dev solve this issue?

Can you please clarify what 'and then after some time to close the macro' means?

I run a macro that has the wait action (with using system alarm service) for 8 hours. With some interval I do cancel the macro while it is standing in the wait state and rerun again. The problem is that in the most cases this alarm is ended when the macro is cancelled - it's good. But not in all cases! So there is left the alarm that is nobody to cancel. And only the system restart can help. Or to wait for the alarm to end by its time (although I cannot even look for the time it will happen). The new instance of the macro does run its wait action too, but the phantom alarm clock is interfering with the new one since the time to the nearest alarm remains to be old.
If I use the wait action without alarm service, of course nothing wrong happens. But the problem is with the 'use alarm'.

I've been playing around trying to recreate this with no success. Every time I cancel the macro the alarm is removed and I have never seen it remain when it shouldn't. If possible could you please use "Report a bug" and include any relevant macros you have that produce this problem and instructions on how to try and recreate it. This sort of issue may only happen based on the exact config of your macros and how things are run so this will give me a better chance to try and reproduce it.

Another big problem is with the category saving.
Despite of mdr or macro saving, category saving is leading to the project spoiling. The global vars become empty, and some of them loose their type! I see that 'decimal' becomes 'string', so the project becomes spoiled, non-working anymore. If I save a separate macro with this variable, its type isn't changed, but the values are cleared anyway.
So now the only way to save the project properly is to save it as mdr. But unfortunately, it will delete all the other user's data.

It happens about 1 time of 20-30, approx. I think MD should have an ability to check if the alarm is left after the wait action is cancelled.
The same is for the case when MD is disabled (with the slider inside) - all the alarms should be cancelled.

Please stop posting general problems/feature requests on the beta thread. This is nothing to do with the beta release. If you want category exporting improved post a feature request.

As for your other problem with alarm handling unless you can submit a bug report (and I guess I know why you can't do this) then I shall not be doing anything further on this. I cannot recreate it and I have tried a lot so I will focus on things I can fix and build.

I didnt think a suggestion to fix the category saving is a kind of a feature request. Previously I suggested to make it not loosing their values and macro state, but even dont know if it is in the plans or not. I see that I cannot properly save the project now, so that the other data would not be lost when importing, and that's sad. And the latest MD version (the beta) is able to spoil the project's variables.
Well... let it be.

If you want to report bug, use bug report feature.

Good afternoon, investigating here about this problem, I discovered that it is probably some hyper bugs 2.0 because the same problem happens to the tasker.
