Question #264487 on Sikuli changed:

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
frustrating indeed if such things happen, but that is what beginners
have to pay due to their lack of experience which bad things might
happen when fiddling around with these nasty snippets of code.

The only thing, that helps in the long run is to have a reliable
versioning and rollback concept, isolate code, that works form code that
is changed or added and finally separate code from data (in the case of
Sikuli usually the images).

All these things are not well supported by Sikuli IDE and need some
extra investment (concepts and code) to achieve this by the users of
Sikuli.

With the visual, pixel based approach one challenge is added: if the
base environment changes even only slightly, the script might not work
any more.

Might not be comforting, but from time to time I face similar problems
with the development of Sikuli myself, because I did not obey these
rules enough strictly. There where cases, where it took 2 - 3 days to
get back to where I was before.

So in your case, you have to make the decision to go further and learn
or leave Sikuli and try another approach.

At this moment, my means to help you efficiently are limited, since I
cannot see what you are doing.

Any chance for me to get this arrow bar live on my screen with little
effort?

And you can send me what you have currently all zipped together to my
