LocalHistogramEqualization module

[zvrastil]

really strange - i downloaded this in mac x86-64 and it appeared in the process menu after a restart. then PI crashed, and when it came back, the process was gone. is there some kind of xml file or other pref file that points to these modules, or if the shared library is in the right directory does PI just go ahead and load it?

Hi, PixInsight does not automatically load all modules from its bin directory. Each module has to be installed. This is normally done by automatic update system.
You can do it manually through menu Processes -> Modules -> Install Modules.... Dialog appears. Check Search Directory - it should point to your bin directory.
Then click Search button. It will report all currently uninstalled modules from the directory - in this case, it should report the LocalHistogramEqualization module.
Click Install button and the module(s) will be installed.

If it crashes again, then there is some problem with the module and PixInsight will again uninstall it automatically. If so, please let me know.

Thanks for all positive comments. I believed this module would be useful but still, it's nice to see it confirmed.

Oh... local histogram did not crash, it was some more generic problem. The x86-64 Mac version is a little crashy.

okay, i did the Install Modules... thing and it's back. thanks.

if pixinsight exits abnormally for any reason does that cause it to fall back to it's default set of modules?

I do not think so. At least that's not my experience. As far as I know, PixInsight removes module only if the crash is related to the start of this module. In your case, maybe module was not yet properly registered or written in configuration when the main application crashed.

An excellent addition to PI modules. Works fine!
