Hello,

 

I struggle with capturing the window. You can see the issue in the attached photo. I can't use the "Active window" option in Recorder because the window disappears when I click away. 

 

I also tried to use Keystrokes. However, it didn't function because after selecting all the objects and pressing "[ALT DOWN]JPAA[ALT UP]" there was this new sub window without a title; therefore, the final keystroke for aligning to the top didn't work.

 

I would be very grateful if there were someone who knew the solution.

 

Thank you in forward!

 

Best regards,

Jaroslav Koďousek

    By doing so, you'll execute your action in a newly opened window. I hope it will help someone.
