Hi,
I am trying to run Image Solver on a series of files, but for some of them I get the message
*** Error: Error: Position.Position(): invalid argument type: numeric value expected.
This is part of the log with some image working and some failing with this error.
Note that, even for the files that have been working, it looks like there have been no files saved. It might be that there are some other issues on my side, but still, it's worth to mention...
Note that this error is given (from what I understand) before starting to analyse the image, so I don't think it's a problem on the file itself.
Also (but it might be bad luck and not a bug), the bottom right cell ImageSolverClipArea seems to be failing very often, even if the rest of the image is recognised ok. I don't know some parameter is not passed correctly for that specific area.
These are the settings:

*** Error: The image could not be aligned with the reference star field.
Please check the following items:
The initial center coordinates should be inside the image.
The initial image resolution should be within a factor of 2 from the correct value.
If you use an online star catalog through the VizieR service, consider using the Gaia DR3 catalog with local XPSD databases instead.
If the image has extreme noise levels, bad tracking, or is poorly focused, you may need to adjust some star detection parameters.
