I am sure you could make a global macro or change focus back an forth but this would be a pain ]]> RE: Action ignored: profile application not focused: expected X, focused Y https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/action-ignored-profile-application-not-focused-expected-x-focused-y/?ID=79fcb123-ff71-4000-9de5-4fc27f9d1b15#2 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 16:32:12 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/action-ignored-profile-application-not-focused-expected-x-focused-y/?ID=79fcb123-ff71-4000-9de5-4fc27f9d1b15#2 VoiceBot It means the macros in the profile will only run if Spotify actually has focus. If you click on the Spotify window, then try the command again, does it work? ]]> Action ignored: profile application not focused: expected X, focused Y https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/action-ignored-profile-application-not-focused-expected-x-focused-y/?ID=79fcb123-ff71-4000-9de5-4fc27f9d1b15 Thu, 19 Jul 2018 08:03:27 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.voicebot.net/Discussions/View/action-ignored-profile-application-not-focused-expected-x-focused-y/?ID=79fcb123-ff71-4000-9de5-4fc27f9d1b15 VoiceBot Hy guys.

What does it means ? I try to change sound on my Spotify, and this message happens all the time.

Action ignored: Profile application not focused (expercted: Spotifx.exe, focused: explorer.exe) (sometime it's chrome.exe).

How can i change this ? Thank you very much all. ]]>
