The image **has to be unique** (which includes not being visible in the action if the image is small enough not to be shrunk in the image well) otherwise Keyboard Maestro will not know where to click. If the image is not unique and you want to click on one of them, you can either use the [[action:Find_Image_on_Screen|Find Image on Screen]] action (which has an option to find a non-unique image) or the [[action:For_Each|For Each]] action with the [[collection:Found_Images|Found Images]] collection to find all matching images and click on them as appropriate. | + | ==== Mouse Drag Options ==== |

You can also use the [[action:Find_Image_on_Screen|Find Image on Screen]] action or the [[action:For_Each|For Each]] action with the [[collection:Found_Images|Found Images]] collection to find all matching images and click on them as appropriate. |
