How To Save Process Icons

[GeneralT001]

Hi,

Is it possible to have PI open up with your favorite Processes already on the workspace? I keep saving them under the "Save Process Icons", but only one is ever saved. How do I get to have a bunch of them?

This might help.

Hi Thanks,

I almost there but I can't seem to get the file path to work. I'm using: .open C:/Users/Tony Benjamin/Desktop/Astronomy/AstroPics/MyProcessIcons.xpsm



Is this not a good path to use?

the problem is the space, you might try either:

.open "C:/Users...xpsm"

or

.open C:/Users/Tony\ Benjamin/Desktop ...

but your path sounds like it's a mac, not a PC? if so then drop the C: and just start with /Users ...

Yes, as Rob says, the problem is the space within the file path. Enclosing it in double quotes will work.

but your path sounds like it's a mac, not a PC?

In PixInsight, UNIX directory separators ('/') are always used on all supported platforms, including Windows, so C:/Users/... is a valid path specification on Windows.

what i meant was that /Users/<someone>/Desktop sounded like a default home directory desktop folder under OSX. i thought windows had a different paradigm but it looks like w7,8,10 use /Users/<user>/ just like OSX.

Hi,

Thanks all. Using the "" has done the trick - have to brush up on my Unix   

I am using a PC with Windows 10.
