It would be nice to have a "Load Views" option.

Hi Geoff,

No plans to add this option.

Some script features require file path names to run (Output Subframes and Output Maps).

The common use case is (un)calibrated frames, which normally reside in files.

For a few views, please use the script FWHMEccentricity. It works great on views. For a lot of views with tables and plots, please save them first.

Thanks,
Mike

sort of the opposite question -

is it impossible to have SFS be able to open an image because of the script UI modality? sometimes it would be nice to see one of the images that SFS has analyzed to see what it really looks like (double stars, etc.)

Modality is the issue. A script can easily open image windows, but those windows are in the background and cannot be manipulated. For example, FWHMEccentricity Support does this, but the overlapping new windows are not entirely viewable until the script closes.

An exception is the script's "View documentation" button. I think this works only for this special case.
