Hello Robin
When importing settings SharpCap stops
Louis

Hi,

could you send me the settings zip file that is causing the problem please (by email - use the contact us link at the bottom of the page). Also good to know exactly what version of SharpCap you are using.

thanks,

Robin

Hello Robin
By doing another test I saw that it was normal: when you import a settings file, ScharpCap loads it, then exits, the new settings will be taken into account at the next startup
Would it be possible to have the file as a command line argument?

Hi Louis,

glad to hear that it wasn't a problem - the reload is required to ensure that there aren't any parts of SharpCap that have loaded the old settings and then might keep using them after the import.

I guess it would be possible to have a command line argument to load the settings (there isn't one at the moment), but I don't quite understand what use case that would be important for - perhaps you could explain what you are trying to achieve.

cheers,

Robin

Hello Robin
I have two configurations with my FSQ106: one as is and another with focal reducer
I could then make a shortcut for each configuration which would prevent me from forgetting to change the focal length in the settings

Hi Louis,

ah, OK. There's a better option for that - you can mave multiple independent SharpCap configurations using the /instance command line parameter. See https://docs.sharpcap.co.uk/4.1/#Comman ... 0Arguments for more info.

cheers,

Robin

Hello Robin
OK, I'll try this
