The more I think about it, the more I would really like to be able to directly put the Image Well images into a file instead of having to recapture them.

I took a look at the XML version of the macro, just to see if there might be a clue there towards how to extract the image. What's in the XML is the encoded image, like this:

      <key>Conditions</key>
      <dict>
        <key>ConditionList</key>
        <array>
          <dict>
            <key>ConditionType</key>
            <string>ScreenImage</string>
            <key>DisplayMatches</key>
            <false/>
            <key>Fuzz</key>
            <integer>15</integer>
            <key>Image</key>
            <data>

I'm sure there are utilities that can make sense of that, but that would be research project for me.

It reminds me of the old ASCII email days when the UUENCODE utility was used to encode images to be sent as text. It probably is exactly that under the hood.

I'm still curious, but I'm not pursuing it right now.

August,
Sometimes back I asked Dan the same thing, and it turns out that Dan has already done the research and implemented the extraction in his utility. You can extract all macros and their action information from his utility in json object.

The file format according to the Peter is tiff
[Lag as my projects get bigger]

I have developed a macro to decode it using base64, unfortunately the decoded image does not open even though it seem to be decoded correctly because there is readable text like "Copyright Apple Inc"
[EXP] Decode XML Image Data.kmmacros (15.3 KB)

Here the macro:
image

Oddly enought,
if the plist image data is decoded using this online service https://api.products.aspose.app/ocr/en/base64-to-img, the image is shown, but when decode locally, it failed.

August,
I have confirmed that those image are encoded in base64, and image type is tiff. The custom prompt window supports tiff. You can try the macro in

Saving decoded base64 image to file has to be done in binary mode. I believe that base64 filter KM Action did not work because it is saving the image in text mode not binary mode in reference to my previous reply.
