Script to monitor a window for changes and take a screenshot when a change is detected

Here is the way that gemini was trying to get me to accomplish this but it is wrong about what the options are in so many steps and it's been just infuriating.

There’s not much point in posting such output, in that case. The daydreams of LLM algorithms might be useful input when writing macros, but critiquing such AI output in the forum instead of a macro written by the user is likely to be misplaced effort.

@KMsoundguy

The test if previously captured image is on the screen part is what I'm struggling with.

It’s great that you have narrowed the problem down. A useful next step would be to provide a macro that identifies the problem and which can be tested by others—if that is possible.

The post How Do I Get The Best Answer in the Shortest Time to Questions on the KM Forum? by the late JMichaelTX contains this, amongst other tips, and I think it might be the way forward with your query, if you can provide such a test macro.

@JMichaelTX

If it's feasible – please provide the simplest possible test macro demonstrating your issue.

• If we're not testing we're probably guessing.
• The easier you make it for others to evaluate and test your work the more likely you'll get useful help – and this will save everyone time.
• Actual testable macros often include fiddly details that are omitted from written descriptions, and these can often make the difference between solving a given problem and not.
