Wait for Image not allowing image insertion after latest update

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7
 

Hello,

After the latest update of Power Automate Desktop, I noticed that the "Wait for Image" action no longer allows me to insert or select an image. Previously, I could easily add an image to wait for, but now the option or field for adding the image seems to be missing.

Is this a known issue in the recent update, or is there a new way to add the image in this action?

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Here is same question where I offered a solution:
    https://community.powerplatform.com/forums/thread/details/?threadid=8c4fbdf4-8574-f011-bec2-6045bdda2ae1

    So you can set up the 'Wait for image' or 'If image' actions in a slightly alternative(hacky) way in the 2.59.154.25213 patch. 

    Since 'Wait for image' -action is broken in this patch do this:
    Capture the image you want to use in the 'Wait for image' -action with 'Move mouse to image' -action.


    Then save the action and copy the action to your clipboard


    And paste it in to a text/code editor like VScode


    Then do the same for the 'Wait for image' -action. So copy and paste the aciton to the code editor 



    So then you have this:


    Now we can see that the 'Wait for image' -actions code is lacking the image data. To add that copy the first actions (Move mouse to image) lines from "# [ControlRepository][PowerAutomateDesktop]" to the ending curly brackets (Line 3 to line 13 in my image)

    And from the first line "Images: [imgrepo['MicrosoftLogo']] (the "MicrosoftLogo" is the image name that I had set in the "Move mouse to image action", if you did not name it anything it might be something line "Image"))


    So end result looks like this:


    Copy that code and paste it into your flow designer. And it should look like this:


    Or just downgrade to the 2.58 version which should have the actions working normally and wait for update that fixes this bug.
