File selector showing no files in v01.08.04.1170

[jbinpg]

Installed latest core v01.08.04.1170 update. Unable to load any DSLR light files from selector panels. File selector panels show as empty with either "any supported format" or "DSLR_RAW" file type selected. Interestingly, in the Preprocessing batch script, I can see the greyed out files when selecting the output directory. Also happens when I try to load files into individual process modules rather than a batch script.

Here is my /etc/ld.so.conf:

include /etc/ld.so.conf.d/*.conf
include /opt/PixInsight/bin
include /opt/PixInsight/bin/lib

Any troubleshooting suggestions welcome.

More on this. I found that with "Accept dropped files" checked in Global Preferences, I can successfully drag and drop files from the nautilus window in Ubuntu 15.04 onto the file selector window in PI and the files will show up. Strange bug.

I cannot reproduce it in Fedora with 1171. CR2 files are loaded fine here from the standar dialog and the file explorer.
Is your file explorer working fine?

You may try changing the global options, under File I/O Settings, and check to use native file dialogs, and see if that works better.

I can't reproduce this either on any of our Linux workstations with KDE and GNOME. Admittedly, I haven't tested PixInsight 1.8.4 on Ubuntu 15, but this problem is really odd to say the least. Might be a rare interaction with GNOME.

Hello,
I can confirm this behavour on my Linux Mint Workstation. I think it is a upper/lowercase issue. None of my DSLR RAW images are shown in the open dialog of pixinsight. My Canon EOS uses uppercases. Converting the file names to lowercase resolved it. Maybe it helps.

We can't reproduce this behavior on any of our Linux machines. File format suffixes are always case-insensitive in PixInsight by design, so this looks like a problem at the desktop manager level.

Are you using native file dialogs? Try changing this option:

- EDIT > Global Preferences
- Preferences > File I/O Settings > Use native file dialogs

Sorry for the delay, I was on vacation.
The use of the native file dialog as described above does not solve this behavour.
