darks

Hello

I use SharpCap version 2-9-3085-0 under W10 64bits with QHY5L color.

When I make a series of darks the filename is '' dark_3_frames_ooC_2017-05-31T19_58_25.png ''
When I want to use it I get the message '' Frame could not be loaded ''
In order to use it I must delete '' ooC '' in the name.
Is there a live solution for this change ?

Having done many series of darks to validate this solution, can we empty the darks library, the deletion of the darks directory having no effect on the library ?

thank you in advance

Hi,

This was a bug in 2.9 that under some circumstances a temperature of infinity degrees was reported instead of a missing sensor temperature and used in the filename, which then couldn't be re-loaded correctly. I'm fairly sure this is fixed in 3.0 - please let me know if that's not the case.

thanks,

Robin

Hi Guy,

you can certainly wipe out that folder without breaking anything else - SharpCap will automatically recreate the dark library structure when you start capturing new dark frames.

cheers,

Robin
