[1.0] Mac: DualMonitor: Capture does not use the region on the correct monitor

Asked by Sleek

--- fixed with version 1.0.1
----------------------------------------------------

Hi,

I have been using Sikuli for 2 years and I just started using the new Sikuli API for Mac. I noticed that using capture(region) does not seem to work correctly with dual monitor setup. Just wanted to find out if I am doing something wrong, although using Sikuli Script X-1.0rc3 seems to work fine with the same code.

Code goes something like this:
r = createRegion(x, y, w, h)
highlight(r) // This highlights the correct region.
capture(r) // This captures the incorrect region.

I have dual monitor setup, my OSX dock/system menu bar is on the external monitor, the region that I want to capture is also in the external monitor and calling highlight shows that. However calling the capture with the same region object uses the laptop monitor. I restarted OSX and still the same problem. Using the SCREEN constant to capture also uses the laptop monitor but in the docs its says:
"Mac: The monitor, that has the System Menu Bar, is always Screen(0) and mapped to the default SCREEN."

And like I said the same code works fine with Sikuli Script X-1.0rc3.

Incase it makes a difference. I am using interactive jython session from the command line.

I will check this today. Might be a bug.

I tested with version 1.0.1, which is only a few days away from release.

- Screen(0) is the monitor having the menuBar/dock

- the coordinates of additional monitors are according to their relative position to primary (left negative x-values, right positive x-values + width of primary)

- regions are correctly referenced on the screen (e.g. r.highlight(2)) and capture(r) captures the correct image as expected.

There is one problem left currently:
find only works on the primary screen. When find is advised to search on other screens or regions on other screens, the search region seems to be wrong.
I will check this further and fix it with 1.0.1

--- This was my test code:
showScreens()
r = selectRegion()
r.highlight(2)
r1 = r.grow(10)
r1.highlight(2)
img = capture(r)
print img
print r1.find(img) # this fails on Screen(1) with a search region out side any screen
