Created attachment 114467 [details] Session log, see the very end of the file for details Consider the processing of two identical scheduler jobs, using similar sequence jobs, capturing to the same storage folder, but one with "filter" suffix enabled and one with "filter" suffix disabled. When executed on a storage that already contains captures, the scheduler will associate less of those captures to the sequence job that has "filter" suffix enabled than to the sequence job that has "filter" suffix disabled. This happens because the capture recognition is processed by checking the beginning of the string. The sequence job without the "filter" suffix will match the captures with the "filter" suffix, but the sequence job with the "filter" suffix will not match the captures without the "filter" suffix.
I'll take this one. Perhaps we can turn this into a feature, but only if that's not too much of a headache for users...
We can't turn this into a feature: if the sequence jobs are requiring different exposure times, the enumeration is wrong. To fix this properly, we should remove the option to add those suffixes, and unconditionally add those suffixes to all captures. Consider a sequence job that takes 1-, 5- and 10-second captures with the same filter. If "Duration" is not enabled, there is no way to differentiate the capture files other than looking into the FITS header. It means that the Scheduler will not be able to associate those captures with their corresponding sequence job item. If the scheduler job is run successfully in one single iteration, no issue, sequence job items will be taken in the right order. Now if the end-user deletes one of the 5-second captures, the Scheduler will not be able to determine that the 5-second sequence is missing one image because all images are named "Light_xxx.fits".
Right now the fix for this issue is to unconditionally add suffixes "Filter" and "Duration" to all captures.
