of spies. Spies are tiny tools that can help
in events editing and system understanding.

Properties. Values in Properties are saved to
ECF file, while values in Options are valid
globally.
Release
of 1.0.1.0
There
is a new algorithm implemented that compares
images but disregards colors.
This remarkably simplifies Clickview editing
(cloning is more or less obsolete now) and
improves playback reliability at the same
time.
Clickview searching can be optionally in one
axis only (vertically or horizontally). This
is useful when Clickview could hardly move in
the other axis (mouse click in the Windows
taskbar, for example).
New method of autoclipping implemented
(method #3 - 'flood corners').
There is a new functionality - Learning. If
the driven application has changed and your
playback is full of Clickview searching then
you can 'learn' either new coordinates for
valid Clickview images, or you can 'learn'
new Clickview images at the original
coordinates. You can also re-create
screenshots file this way.
Import of a text available. You you want
Eventcorder to type a long text for you and
you have the text in a file already, you
don't have to record it. This functionality
is available from the command line as well.
Eventcorder doesn't change focus of the
windows when recording or playback starts, or
when it runs from the command line with -a
specified.
Release
of 1.0.0.34
Flags
(Clickviews, screenshots) are copied when
doing copy&paste of events.

of mouse).

user presses a reserved key.
Format of help file changed to *.chm.
Release
of 1.0.0.32, 1.0.0.33

Thanks to this Eventcorder can be used with
full comfort also on non-standard PCs.

keyboard.
Minor improvements in Retry and Search.
Release
of 1.0.0.31
Playback
can be interrupted at any time, even
during Retry and Clickview Search.
Cursor changes it's shape during Retry and
Search.
Bug causing that Playback was sometimes
interrupted without an obvious reason was
luckily fixed.
It is possible to clone all Clickviews at
once.
Some menu items and values in Options deleted
as obsolete.
Every Clickview can have set what to do
before it takes place - either keep offset
calculated during previous repositioning, or
discard it and start search at original
coordinates.
