Image detection stops working after a time

[rnoecker]

I'm using Windows 7 now for testing, but if I go with this solution I will likely go back to using Windows 2003 for production, and it sounds like this may be the fix for the issue I was having.

Did it work?

I haven't had a chance to test in Windows 2003 yet. It did not help the crashing issue I am having with Windows 7 which is different but still seems to be related to image detection.

I updated to 14.0.12 on July 10. Today is July 12. A script I have successfully run every night Since Feb 19 that contains the line:

Code: Select all

FindImagePos>%temp_dir%PbC.bmp,WINDOW:Global Shop Solutions,0.7,1,XPos,Ypos,NumFound,CCOEFF

Ran successfully Wednesday night (day of the update) but failed to run Thursday night (last night). It failed to find the image on this FindImagePos> line even though the window was open and the needle file exists. If I step through in the editor I see that the return code is -1. This made me wonder if this is the same issue as this thread reports.

Also, when I stepped through the script a second time, the FindImagePos> line spawned an error message that said:

"Cannot create a file when that file already exists."

Closed and restarted Macro Scheduler and everything works again.
Thought you'd want to know.
