autostack information file missing?

Hi Robin,
Sharpcap is saving raw files and stacks from livestacking OK but the note files listing the stacking conditions that normally appear under the 'processed' subfolder were absent?
Last night I was running stacks of 0.5s lights and dithering without guiding (not sure yet whether the mount moved or not), collecting raw files and also autostacking every 2min -- and so the computer was doing a lot quickly.

Hi Tim,
what I see when using the auto-save-and-reset is that the 'processed' folder has two images in it (one with display stretch and one without) and one settings file. I think both settings files for the two images end up with the same name, so it gets written once and then overwritten with the same info in it again.
Are you not seeing any settings files in that folder? Can you check your log as you should see entries for the capture settings files being written in the log (and potentially a message if any error is occuring)
Code: Select all

I presume you are SharpCap 4.0, yes?
cheers,
Robin

Apologies Robin
It was just a silly mistake on my part. Yes I am using the latest version of 4 and my mistake was to have left the appropriate box unticked under the General Settings menu. I noticed just as I was setting up tonight and now all is working just fine.
thanks
Tim
