Why Embedding Images Directly Into a Found Image's Action Is a Bad Idea

Although Find Image on Screen seems like a really cool action, I've had inconsistent behavior with it, thus I only use it as a last restort. (I'm sure a separate thread on Find Image on Screen best practices would help those like me that have struggled with this action. )

I agree wholeheartedly; a useful feature but not always the best one. I too use if as a last resort.

For those like me that have been inspired by @cdthomer to clean house, remember that a Smart Group can be created with a size Search String.

That's a great tip, I have a smart group for macros sorted by size (accomplished via this macro), but I hadn't used that search string until you mentioned it and it's very useful. Thanks for sharing!
