Keeping Macro Going during image find

[Stu]

Hello! Great program so far, really easy to use!
My macros work, however it stops when it should be counting, not sure how to keep it going. also there is probably a better way to do this.

var w = wnd.find(0, "window name", "applicationname").Activate();
string primaryImage = @"image:"; //confirmation field y
string secondaryImage =  @"image:"; //popup button

int primaryImageCount = 0;

while (primaryImageCount < 6) {
    var primaryIm = uiimage.find(-1, w, primaryImage);

    if (primaryIm != null) {
        primaryImageCount++;
        keys.send("y"); // Primary image found, send "y".
    } else {
        // Primary image not found, let's look for the secondary image.
        var secondaryIm = uiimage.find(0, w, secondaryImage);

        if (secondaryIm != null) {
            // Secondary image found, you can close the popup or perform any other action.
            {secondaryIm.MouseClick();}
        }
    }
}

If I run the macro when the image is present it does the y button press, but will not automatically find it again when it pops up later.

What I am doing is a task that runs for about 1-2 minutes, once the task is completed, there is a button for the next step and you need to press y.
Sometimes there are popups during the task running, I just want to click that away so the task can continue and then look for the original image.
Each task has 6 steps to press y on, once those are completed it needs to wait for the file to save about 10 seconds and then start over again.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
