Can't remove Darks +other bugs

v4.0.7438
1. Previously entered Darks can't be removed from list in Preprocessing Subtract Darks drop down.

2. Also previous flat doesn't load like the darks when program opens.

3. Last capture location doesn't load when opening program; it defaults to SharpCap Captures folder.

Hi Don,

thanks for the reports -

I can confirm 1) and now have a fix for next update.

2) Doesn't seem to happen for me - can you send a log or a video showing the problem?

3) Is how it is supposed to work - if you do 'Open Capture Folder' before capturing anything you get the top level folder. After you have captured something it will take you to the folder where the last capture got saved.

Hi Don,

very weird - can see that it is not being loaded for you, but not why.

After closing down the application with the flat applied, can you look in the folder

Code: Select all

C:\Users\<your user name>\AppData\Roaming\SharpCap\CaptureProfiles
This should contain a file '_autosave (<camera name>).ini' which contains the saved settings to be reloaded next time - have a look in that file (or post it here) to see if the flat frame setting is being saved in the first place when closing down.

cheers,

Robin

Here is that file. It closed with the flat saved in this file.
_autosave (ZWO ASI2600MC Pro).ini

If I reload the profile the flat reloads but if I close the program and reopen then the flat doesn't load.
