Pro v 3.2.6391, 64-bit.
I've been testing NINA as a sequencer, saving FITS to a folder monitored by SharpCap for live stacking. When I started SC, I already had 20 images in the folder, each being a 15-second sub.
In SharpCap, I started the stacking of those images (selected the first one, then clicked the "Process Frames" button). As SharpCap was going through the images, the total exposure reported in the left side of the Live Stacking panel appeared to count the wall time of the stacking, rather than adding the exposure time of each sub (available in the FITS file, I double-checked).
It'd be nice to have the real total exposure time shown.
Thanks.

Hi,
thanks for the report - I think I just need to read the EXPTIME header from the fits files and then hopefully everything will work as expected.
