Display ticked, shows percentage. What is that?

[iamdannywyatt]

On one of my actions that finds an image, I turned the DISPLAY on so now it shows me the area in green. I noticed that on the upper left corner it shows me 1%.
What is this percentage info?

I was reading this, but doesn't seem to mention that particular feature (percentage):

Hey @iamdannywyatt - you might want to try searching before asking:

Troubleshooting "click at found image"

The required fuzz for the match. Green matches are ones that Keyboard Maestro thinks are as good as the best match. You cannot click an image if it finds more than one matching good image. You can use other techniques to find a non-unique image, and then click it (use the Find Image action, allow it to be non-unique, and then use the resulting variable to click at the absolute location). But generally, if you are not finding a unique image then you have a problem if you want to click on it. …

Thank you for the link!

No need to say:

@tiffle

I indeed tried searching and that's how I found the Wiki page.
Sometimes some people just find the right way to do the search, some people, not so lucky I started a lot of threads that I ended up canceling, because I found the answer before posting or the suggestions showed me someone asked that already.

Anyway, the issue I see is that the action itself doesn't show any percentage, so having the percentage on the green box, seems a bit counterintuitive. How am I supposed to know how much fuzziness is being applied when I drag the slider...?

If there are several matches simultaneously then it is perfectly intuitive that each green box will show a percentage which is a calculated “goodness of match” measure I think, thereby allowing you to specify a fuzziness that will pick out the match you actually want. 1% by the way is a more or less perfect match.

Personally I’ve found generally no need to fiddle with the default fuzziness setting except when there are several matches on screen.

By the way, to get to the post I linked to I just searched this forum (not the wiki) using the phrase “display percentage”!

What I mean is that the green boxes show a percentage so we can have an idea of the percentage of fuziness we need, but then the slider to adjust that fuziness doesn't show the value so it's hard to really know how much we are applying, you know?

I had to change the fuziness a few times already, because some images were not being picked up.

I forget to use the search on the forum. I either go to Wiki or just Google it. Gotta start doing it.

Got it! Sorry I misunderstood. You know, for all the image matching I’ve done with KM I never gave it any thought that the fuzziness slider didn’t show a value! I just reckoned that anything that dealt with “fuzziness” would be hit and miss and need a bit of trial and error. So maybe you’re right that a number on the slider might actually help correlate with the values shown in the green highlights.
