Plate solve - solve only (copy not copy all)

Hi
a little bug

The Plate Solve - Solve only function returns a series of data on the green line at the top. So far so good
Clicking COPY does not copy everything: it forgets the focal length of the telescope.

Below is a screenshot with paste on notepad

Hi,

thanks for spotting that - I think the focal length calculation got added after the 'Copy' button and I didn't notice at the time that it needed to go in two places. I will fix :)

cheers,

Robin

Ooops, my fault - one missing character in the code means that you get the name of the variable, not the value :(

I even tested that and looked at the copy/paste text in notepad, but I must have stopped reading it at 'Focal Length is' and decided all was good :oops:

cheers,

Robin
