Aurelian Maga provided some code for a new ImageSearch command that searches the screen for the first occurrence a bitmap image. He also provided what might be a faster algorithm for PixelSearch.

These new methods could use some beta testing. What's especially needed is testing on at least one system whose video card offers a 24 bit color mode (most cards seem to have 16 and 32-bit, but not 24-bit).

A secondary need is general testing by anyone who heavily uses PixelSearch. This will help make sure that the replacement PixelSearch command is functionally identical (though hopefully faster) than the old one.

If either of these interests you and you have some time to try a test-version of AutoHotkey, please let me know.

I am not using pixelsearch this much and my video card offers only 16 and 32 bit options,but
if running a script constantly doing a pixelsearch is good enough, I can test the new version.
Maybe, one Loop showing a splashimage and another script executing pixelsearch(and writing a log??)

Well, no 24 bit mode. Will check if one of my other boxes offers that option. It would be helpfull if you could create a test pattern/scenario so it will be easier to identify issues should they occur.

Thanks. I'm also hoping to get some testing done in games that use varying resolutions, DirectX vs. OpenGL, etc.

I'll let you know when the test version is ready.

Edit: The ImageSearch command has finally been added.
