Hi all,

I try to implement kind of a logging functionality with SikuliX. 

We have a program with a "Save" button that saves data into a XML file. I push this button by using SikuliX. This is already working flawlessly.

Now the problem is that the computer this program runs on is a control computer for a solar power plant. It might happen that a user uses this computer for example to read off live measurement values of the system. These values are presented in another program and the program with the "Save" button gets hidden behind it. That means that SikuliX can no longer find the Save button and logging stops. 

My idea was to let the program with the Save button run on a different user account than the program the user is possibly interacting it. This did not work, which for me makes kind of sense when I am thinking about how I understand that SikuliX works. Is there a possible work-around for this? 

Another solution of the problem might be to use a second monitor that is "hidden" to the user and only the program with the "Save" button runs on that. So it should not happen that the save button is hidden.

What would you suggest? 
Thank you and best regards.
