Batch processing: ImageWindow.windowByld(): invalid view identifier

[whwang]

Hi,

I would like to followup on this thread:
http://pixinsight.com/forum/index.php?topic=5749.0

I encountered exactly the same problem, and my solution was the same suggested at the bottom of the thread.
Then I found that the source of the problem may be liked to rejection in the integration of dark or bias or flat. 
Previously, I chose no rejection, so only one image window appeared after the dark (or bias or flat) frames were
integrated into a master dark.  Then the problem happened.  In a recent attempt, I turned on the rejection.
After the integration, three windows appeared. Then the master dark was written to the disk and the three windows
were closed, and the processing moved on successfully.

So the invalid view identifier error message is highly likely to have something to do with the one/three windows
without/with rejection.

Cheers,
Wei-Hao

I can't reproduce this problem with any of our data sets. The referenced thread refers to version 1.8 RC7 (early 2013). This problem should not happen with current versions. Which version of PixInsight are you running? Can you provide a minimal data set where this problem can be reproduced?

I am running the current version.

Did you try to turn off rejection and see if this happens?

I will provide some data for you to test.  Where should I put them?

Yes, it happens. We haven't seen this problem before because we never preprocess with rejection disabled. While we fix it, the workaround to avoid this issue is simple: disable the Generate rejection maps option (on the Options section of the script's main dialog) if you don't use rejection.

This will be fixed in the next version. Sorry for the inconvenience.
