I have come to like pixelsearch, but I have also found that it does not always work. Unreliability goes against persistent programs. So the argument comes in, Fast or Slow mode. Which is more reliable.

In looking at the source, there seems a bunch of places where an error can occur in fast mode all document though. When I look at slow mode, it said that:
Quote:
This old/slower method is kept because fast mode will break older scripts that rely on which match is found if there is more than one match (since fast mode searches the pixels in a different order (horizontally rather than vertically, I believe). In addition, there is doubt that the fast mode works in all the screen color depths, games, and other circumstances that the slow mode is known to work in.

I would like to know if there is an active discussion going on about how pixelsearches should be conducted?

Thanks - JDKunk
