Computer locks up with current version of powerpro.exe

I've used powerpro.exe for years but since I recently updated to the newest version (4.9), have had both XP
and Vista computers lock up due to some issue. I noticed it doesn't reference being compatible with Vista,
but I didn't have any issues until I updated it. I'm a proficient user but a programmer I am not. I don't want
to quit using this incredible program but my computer geek advised I do. After uninstalling powerpro the
problem goes away. Has anyone had a similar experience and found an way to correct the problem of my
computer completely locking up to where I have to use tabs to get anywhere, and then the functions is
limited. Any help is greatly appreciated.

No cl.SetBackColor for whole bar?

Somehow, I can't figure out a way to do this. I can use cl.GetBackcolor("[listname]"), but what is the
reverse? cl.SetBackcolor("[listname]","[color]") doesn't work, nor does
[listhandle].SetBackcolor("[color]"). It doesn't seem to be in help either. A glaring omission?

Thanks for any help

Ha! I just lost the first whole tab from the Powerpro Config panel!

It's true!  The Command list tab disappeared completely!  Then, when I click on any other tab, the tabs began
to disappear from the right until I had nothing but a blank tab!  Freaky, no?  I restarted Powerpro a few times
and it went back to normal.  Has this ever happened to anyone else?

Clip menu showing first 3-4 lines of text rather than file name?

Is it possible to populate a menu with actual text read from each clip file (rather than showing the file
name, which lacks special characters and formatting)? Or is a bar be necessary to be able to use CL commands successfully?

My goal would be a more comfortable display of clips, like in the Ditto app (screenshot: http://bit.ly/xFx3R5).

Menus are much faster but my guess is they aren't quite flexible enough to display multiple lines of text
from files.

If it has to be a bar, I reckon I'll need some kind of sorting mechanism to be able to show the clips in the
correct order (or maybe use a folder button bar and just overwrite the button labels). Does anyone have a
working script that does something like this?

Thanks

#Include Scripts

Salvete!  In Powerpro Help, there is an option for "Imports" to import functions from other script files.

Is this the same as using #Include in other languages?  What is the difference between using "Import" and
simply calling the function from the other script via .testfile <at> test() ?

I tried this, but it doesn't work; it says "function not found".

imports(Scripts++"testfile.powerpro") test
.@test()
quit

How Long Can Scripts Be?

Salvete!  What is the optimal maximum length for powerpro scripts?  I created a script that gives me access to
all the action-commands of Adobe InDesign CS4, and it is about 6634 lines long, with 1656 two-line
functions.  The script is never run as a whole script - it is only used to house the functions which are called
individually.  Since I added this script, however, PP crashes more often, although it never crashes on a
function call - PP only crashes upon configuration in the GUI.  Hmmm..  

Any advice or insight here?

I suppose I could extract the functions I want the most and put them in a separate script file.  But I don't
understand why this would affect PP.

Create/Record Macros??? PLEASE HELP!!

Sorry but I am totally new to all of this and am in desperate need of some
help...can someone tell me the "Making Macros for Dummies" way to create/record
a macro in this??

What Im trying to do is decrease a very tedious workload I have wherein I need
to copy a line of numbers in Excel then paste them in a webbrowser then tab
through spaces and press enter then back for another line on Excel...Id like to
automate the4 entire process which is actually about 30 key strokes and totaling
over 1,000 lines in Excel so you can see why it would be tedious.

ANY help at all with this would be greatly appreciated as I need to get this
work done this week!!

Here are the key strokes I currently have to use...

The process requires me to click into a cell in excel and then Ctrl+ C to copy the number in it...
then alt + tab to switch to the web browser...
Then Alt + B...
Then Ctrl +2
Then tab 3 times to the correct space...
then ctrl + V to past number I got from excel..
then enter...
Then tab twice...
Then enter...
Then Alt + Tab to go back to Excel...
Then click up key to the next cell...
Then Ctrl + C...
to begin the process again. 
This is done approx 1,000 times

PPro on Vista

Hi folks,

I have a notebook running Vista since a couple of years. In the
beginning I installed PPro 4.8 and used the configuration of my PC
which runs XP. It didn't work completely, but for the most important
tasks it did.

Now I installed PPro 4.9 with Vista support. I learned that it has to
be run in admin mode. It works better now than before, especially the
taskbar. But it also means that all applications started from PPro run
with admin privileges too. How do I prevent this? Probably something
can be added to the command starting a program, but I have no idea
what it is. Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance
Peter

File path from external app as script argument puzzler - REWARD!

This is driving me nuts: I'm calling a PPro script from Total Commander like this: f:\Program Files\PowerPro\powerpro.exe
.test(%P%N) . So TC passes a file path to my script. The script then does this: win.debug(arg(1),arg(2)).

For f:\test.txt I get an error message:
---------------------------
PowerPro
---------------------------
Bad expression:  invalid operator at
:\test.txt)
.test(f:\test.txt)
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

Okay, so I change TC's command line to .test("%P%N") - output:
f:	est.txt, i.e. PPro has replaced \t with a tab

Okay, so I change TC's CL to .test(?"%P%N") - output:
f:\test.txt
Heureka!

But now let's take the file "f:\test space.txt" - output:
error message:
---------------------------
PowerPro
---------------------------
Bad expression:  invalid operator at
f:\test space.txt"")
.test(?""f:\test space.txt"")
---------------------------

Auto-hide bar when all its buttons hidden

Is there a simple way of doing this, either via *Contextif or from a monitor commandlist / script? Only way I
can see is via a for... loop.

You might think that the bar is de-facto hidden when there aren't any buttons, but a little dot is still left
on the screen in that case.
