Title:
  [request] feature to produce match sensitivity values for a group of
  images

Status in Sikuli:
  New

Bug description:
  I find that I often need to manually work with Sikuli's pattern match
  preview/setter feature to differentiate between two very similar
  images, and choose values that eliminate false positives and false
  negatives for each.  This is a common behavior for image pairs like
  the enabled and disabled form of a button, and it can also come into
  play in other situations.  There seems to be no heuristic that works
  all the time, since the actual sensitivity ends up being some
  combination of image size and how similar the two reference images
  really are.

  Sikuli has the necessary tools under the hood to take reference images
  and determine if there exists a match sensitivity for each that will
  uniquely identify one image if both are present, but it would have to
  be coded, and the interface to the new functionality would have to be
  determined.  One deviation from normal Sikuli behavior is that the
  match wouldn't take the current screen into account; it would have to
  either cobble together a fake screenshot consisting of the reference
  images, or do some other trick.

  A sub-wishlist would be a way to tell the IDE, at image capture time,
  that you only want 1 match for the captured image.  The IDE would then
  set the sensitivity for that image such that only one match for the
  newly-captured image is found, in the context of the screen in which
  it was captured.  (Of course, it'd be up to the script writer to
  ensure that this threshold is used consistently in other parts of the
  script.)
