Asked by Sahil Doshi

I am trying to wait for one pattern generated by passing image path.
Pattern p = new Pattern("C:\\program files(86x)\\sikuli\\images\\image.png");
Screen s = new Screen();
s.wait(p);

and when it is tring to format "find fail" exception message it it throwing below error:

Exception in thread "main" java.util.UnknownFormatConversionException: Conversion = 'W'

I dig into it and find out It is failing while calling the toString() method of Image class.

the reason behind it is :

imageName ="C:/program%20files(86x)/sikuli/images/image.png"

in toString,

String.format((this.imageName != null ? this.imageName : "__UNKNOWN__") + ": (%dx%d)", this.bwidth, this.bheight)

it is failing because of "%20" in imageName

Supposing we are talking about SikuliX 1.1.4 sikulixapi.jar build #270.

Has to be completely revised. Thanks for finding.

workaround: store the images in a folder whose path does not contain blanks.

BTW: generally it is not a good idea, to store private stuff in the Windows program folders. Might lead to access problems.
