Linking image in 'if image' Action

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by QD-19081300-0 5
Hello, I am new to Power Automate, and I need your help with images and if blocks. 
 
I am trying to interact with the GUI of a microscope and verify whether certain conditions are met using an 'if image' action. I need to specify which image (screenshot) to look for, but I can't find the documentation about this syntax for the formula. I already have the images stored in the 'Images' tab of Power Automate, but I can't access them through actions (see screenshots below).
 
When I try to access these images, I keep getting the error: Parameter 'Image': Argument 'Image' must be 'List of PngEncodedImage'.
 
How do I create a list with the images already imported, and how do I access them in the if block? 
Thanks for you help

    This is a bug in the latest update version of PAD (2.59). The "If image" and "Wait for image" -actions should work similarly to "Move mouse to image" -action if you open that action. In the version 2.59 you need to either use a hacky way to edit the actions in a code editor. So you edit the Image -fields code to be same as in "Move mouse to image" -actions. Or just downgrade to an earlier version of PAD.
    Earlier versions of PAD: https://github.com/jfevia/Power-Automate-Desktop/releases

    Here are threads about this issue and how to do the hacky way:
