Re Image solver , can anyone confirm if the 1.8 RC1 update has killed the image solver script , the search seems not to work now and changing the preferences ie pixel size , focal length is not always saved.

I haven't tried it yet. I am currently on holidays without access to a "real" computer. After year's end I will test ImageSolver and AnnotateImage and fix everything broken.

Are there any actual release notes for 1.8 RC1? What's new??

Looks and feels the same , gues we might have to wait till January for the totally "bug free" version

I always write absolutely perfect code first time every time, so there will be absolutely perfect bugs since the first release

Juan,
did you agree with Linus about that:

Why has the update been removed from https://pixinsight.com/dist/ ?
I installed the new version yesterday and it seems to work fine...

Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Hi could you try the image solver script please , the search option does not allow any input , the previous version you could enter the target ie M51, etc

also when you change the parameters , say focal length pixel sizel it does not always remember them.

As I said in that message, I am not at home and I will not have a computer (only an IPad) until January the 2nd.
The version 1.8RC1 is only a release candidate and IMHO it is clearly not ready for being the recommended version. If you need to use the script, I think that you should return to the version 1.7.

Sorry Andres , I thought it was another post... I'm just keen to find someone else that has installed the update and confirm my issue. afterall you may not have anything to fix ;-)

I did not try the release of 1.8 due to an email saying it was very buggy. When will there be an official" bug free" release and is it going to be a complete instal rather than an upgrade?

Thanks.

Juan is compiling the RC2 version. If nothing wrong happens, we may have it available the next days.
