Inserting a delay in opening an application

[Ian Wilson]

I'm using LCDMax to display Zoomplayers status on my VFD screen. LCDMax needs to be running before Zoomplayer. I've setup a multigroup, with LCDMax starting first. However it takes longer to load than Zoomplayer and consequently ends up finishing loading after Zoomplayer. How can I delay Zoomplayer opening?

Thanks,
Ian

Add a Wait into the multi group. You can find this on the Window tab.

Thanks, but I had tried that by putting a 300ms delay in LCDMax but then it cleared the execute box so LCDMax didn't get launched.

aah figured it out now. I need to add a command inbetween LCDMax and Zoomplayer with the wait instructions. I now understand that each command can only be a single event, I can't launch a program at the same time as delaying its launch (encapuslated in a single command).

Many thanks,
Ian
