Wait for Image not allowing image insertion after latest update

Posted on by CU15080845-5

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.

Wait for Image not allowing image insertion after latest update

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.
