Where project execution will continue from​

These settings control how the project behaves when you click the Next or To End buttons.

Next action after the last executed one​

The project will continue from the next action after the last one that was completed.

From the selected action​

The project will continue execution from the action you currently have selected in the project diagram.

Always ask​

This checkbox determines whether you are prompted to choose between the two options above every time you resume execution.

Running the project from the start​

This setting controls how the project behaves when you click From Start.

Execute the first action​

When you select this option, clicking From Start moves the project's focus to the first action.

Execute up to breakpoint​

Actions run up to the first breakpoint, or to the end of the project if there are no breakpoints.

Ask​

You will be prompted to choose the execution behavior each time.

Debugger options​

Delayed execution visualization​

Removed from the program starting with version 7.1.7.0

Enables real-time visualization of actions being performed. This setting is useful when debugging long projects and projects with loops.

Clear the log at the start of debugging​

Each time the project is run From Start, the log is cleared automatically.

Extended log window​

The log will be displayed in a window with extra options and the ability to copy text.

THIS SETTING IS ENABLED FOR BOTH ZENNODROID AND PROJECTMAKER AT THE SAME TIME

Log column headings

A restart is required to apply this option

Always show warnings in the log​

Additional warnings will appear in the log. For example:

  • Выполнение логического оператора If Результат: false if the IF action follows the red branch.
A restart is required

Show warning about unsupported browser version​

Displays a warning in the log if the main and nested projects use different browser engine versions.

This can happen when using the Project in Project action if a different browser type is selected in the nested project's settings. For example, the main project uses Firefox 52 and the nested project uses Firefox 45.

If this setting is enabled, the following warning appears in the log when the nested project starts:

Выполнение действия ProjectInProject. Текущий браузер Firefox52 не подходит для вложенного проекта, требуется Firefox45. Возможна некорректная работа вложенного проекта.

Switch to Bad/GoodEnd on multiple debug runs​

Allows execution to enter the BadEnd and GoodEnd blocks repeatedly while debugging a project.

The destination depends on the result:

  • BadEnd if an error occurs;
  • GoodEnd if execution completes successfully.
If this setting is disabled

Execution can enter BadEnd or GoodEnd only once per project run.

To enter either block again, restart the project using From Start.

Recreate C# code execution thread​

This setting may help avoid memory leaks in ProjectMaker on AMD processors when executing C# code. The underlying bug is in .NET Framework.

Cannot be used with ThreadStatic

If you use C# with ThreadStatic in your projects, disable this setting.

Notification settings​

This setting controls notifications that appear on the desktop.

  • Black, black;
