Output folder in StarAlignment not saving

[umasscrew39]

I used StarAlignment to stack multiple stacks, which it did, but when I try to create an output folder it would not save the new stack.  The folder I created to save it in remained empty after I clicked Global Apply.  What am I doing wrong?

align multiple stacks or stack multiple stacks?

did you load views or files into StarAlignment? i think if you are using views then it outputs views rather than files. so you'll have to load the files from disk and then re-run and it will then write the registered files out to disk.

Hi Rob

Align multiple stacks.

I added both stacks and selected view, not file.  After I press apply globally it works for a few seconds and says it is done but nothing appears in the desktop folder.  So, I am not sure what you mean by, "load the files from disk and then re-run and it will then write the registered files out to disk."

Like he said: when you use views, it outputs views i.e. images that have been opened in PI. If you want to have output files you need to load files.

Got it!

Thanks Wouter and Rob

Being a little dense - not enough coffee this morning, I guess.

great yea - this is one that i was not aware of until very recently. the use case for StarAlignment is to load input files from disk like 99% of the time so the view-based behavior came as a surprise, but i guess it makes sense. files to files, views to views.
