Notes for Version 2 Users

PTFB Pro 3 can be installed over the top of an existing version 2 installation. Doing this is the recommended approach, as it preserves all your existing single-press and macro (formerly "sequence") definitions.

Licensed users of version 2 will quickly notice that their registration name and key are no longer recognized! To obtain a version 3 license please visit the following web page: http://www.ptfbpro.com/upgrade.shtml.

Version 3 of PTFB Pro includes many new features and enhancements - here are the main changes from version 2:

• Separate initial and repeat delays for both single presses and macros (sequences)
• Ability to edit macros and insert custom commands (e.g. run command line, run other macro)
• Window-less macros (operate on entire screen)
• Greater speed range for macro playback (1/4 speed through to maximum possible)
• New triggering options:
  - when target window appears (as before, but now with ability to confine actions to certain days/hours)
  - repeating day/time schedule (like Windows scheduler)
  - your own choice of hotkey
  - command line (an external program can tell PTFB to run a macro on demand)
• Option to conceal macro contents from prying eyes
• New items take a snapshot of the original target window, so you can always refresh you memory!
• Ability to operate on minimized windows
• Ability to handle multiple on-screen instances of the same target

Finally, please note that PTFB now uses the term "macro" instead of sequence. Now that PTFB Pro has a full set of macro-handling capabilities, we felt it was best to use the more conventional term.
