If i minimise or close the GPS Status window (QHY174m-GPS) the widow disappears, and there doesnt seem to be a way to display it without closing and restarting the camera. The window doesnt drop into the taskbar and there is no re-activation in the Camera Control Panel that i can see.
Is this normal ? Sorry if this is a trivial question.
Thanks - Tim

Re: GPS status window
Hi Tim,
what happens for me is that the GPS window makes itself small and covers up the FPS status in the bottom left of the SharpCap window - from there you can bring it back into view using its restore button - see below.
What I should really do is make the 'Show Data' button on the GPS setting re-show the window if it has been minimized - I will do that for 4.0
cheers,
Robin

Hi Robin,
I looked on my system (W10Pro) but i don't see what you see. So its well hidden. In the GPS section of Camera Control Panel there is a [Show Data] on/off but this doesn't seem to do anything. Im not sure if this is relevant. For the time being i will be careful not to minimise or close the window.
Many thanks - Tim

Robin,
Re: GPS status window lost on minimising
It looks like my W10 system is not behaving very well (although fine in all other respects). I installed V4.0 beta (64bit) and compared to V3.2 (16bit) both on my W7 computer and both work correctly as you have described. So i will draw a line under this query - thank you for your help.
I have now installed V4.0 beta (64bit) on my W10pro (1909) and this behaves oddly in the same way - so it looks to me like my W10 is the cause.
Looking forward to trying out the V4 features - Cheers!

Re: GPS status window
Hi Tim,
ok, no problem. Remember that v4.0 is now no longer beta - it's fully released and ready to go (although I am still working on bugs and improvements and updating regularly).
cheers,
Robin
