xsif format in batch preprocessing
« on: 2016 August 01 18:47:18 »
Its been awhile since I used PI for DSO. I just updated everything, and when I went to use BatchPreprocessing, to calibrate, Dark, Bias, Flat and Light frames. In the diagnostics I got an error message saying no files to support xsif format.

I have all files in the .fit format, from my Starlight SXVR.

I had to use the .fit format, which is what I want to use anyway.
I really don't see how you think the .fit format should be deprecated. It is the most common format in astrophotography there is.

I just have to convert the .xsif anyhow.
But, if that is what I need to use here, What's up with the error message?

i'm guessing that PI has lost track of the library file that contains the xisf support. you may need to do the pixinsight reset procedure (http://pixinsight.com.ar/en/docs/75/pixinsight-reset-pixinsight.html) but i think this will reset your customizations (if any) as well.

The FITS format has been deprecated in PixInsight. Its use is strongly discouraged, except to import data generated by other applications.

To solve your issue, see FAQ 3.9: http://pixinsight.com/faq/
