Small problem at startup

[joelshort]

When I start Pixinsight I get the below error in the Process Console.  Everything works fine after that, but I would like to see if that little bug can be eliminated.  I assume the problem is something in my startup.scp script.  If someone could take a look at the script I would appreciate it.  Send me a PM and I'll give you a download link.

Did you make a change to the PixInsight startup script? If so what the error is showing is that line 3 of the script has a problem. It most likely is something like this. Notice the line above and below line 3 at the beginning are different. The 2 forwardslashes are needed to let PixInsight know not to try to execute a line in the script. Just make sure line 3 has the 2 forwardslashes as in the second image.

The other option is to just ignore the error message as nothing actually happened and will only show when you start PI.

So I opened the script in PI (wow, didn't know I could do that, I was using wordpad before).  Line 3 looks the same as yours.  Here's a link to download my startup script if anyone wants to take a look: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rfrx0ff25furhq7/startup.scp?dl=0

I did, in fact, make a change to the startup script a while back to open my custom process icons at startup, but I believe that this warning was present before that.

I'm not sure why the error says Line 3 but your startup.scp file from dropbox has the error causing line at 197. Try adding 2 forwardslashes and a space at the beginning of 192 and see if the error goes away.

Yep!  That fixed it.  Thanks!
