[check] a match should remember the search parameters and the actually found image

[RaiMan]

Is there any thought about adding the Pattern to the Match object returned from a find, exists, etc? We have a high rate of screen image changes and to try to capture the screen AFTER the match has been found is not working consistently. We would like to capture exactly the Pattern Sikuli found and in some cases search that pattern for a sub-image.

Hey there, long time no email. :) Just double checking... are you adding
the feature to 2.0, to be able to ignore part of an image that we want to
search for? For example, if I'm testing for an image that includes a
column of time stamps and those time stamps will always change between my
test run, will I be able to pass in a region to ignore so that I can verify
that the image around the column of time stamps is found but the region of
where the time stamps column resides will be ignored? So in the picture we
have a status and the time that status was posted. I want to verify my
status and headers images are correct but not care about the actual time
image the status was posted.

Thanks much!! Hope you are well.

@skeets (Scott)
yes, a feature to ignore parts of an image at search is on the list for version 2.

... but in your case I do not understand the problem: just reduce the image to the upper part and you have what you need.
