Comment 14 for bug 673995

Hi, Any news on this?

My use case actually requires masking out areas inside the image...

One of the tasks I need to perform is to verify that the screenshots taken of a product for training do not need updating when the version changes. So, assume I have a dialog box which has some (pre-filled) information in it. The information is irrelevant to the training guide, but the overall look of the dialog is what we need to show. If I have a png created of the box, but with all the fields replaced by transparent areas, then I should be able to use Sikuli to search for it and have it find the box, even if the data is different.

In this way, I'm able to verify that the dialog box hasn't had extra fields added, or controls moved around etc.

For my purposes, speed is not a major issue (I know you mentioned elsewhere that ignoring transparencies would be slow.)

Thank you!
