Created attachment 118437 [details] AstroRoot folder SUMMARY Open the last version KStars 3.1 A dialog pops up saying something about an astrometry config file (see attached) I looked for the AstroRoot folder and could not find it STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT This is probably a left over of Robert Lancaster ..... EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: MacOS: 10.14 Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: KDE Frameworks Version: Qt Version: ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The likely consequence is that the astrometry index file gets damaged and that astrometry always fails
So this wasn't a bug, this was the intended behavior. Basically when I build the software for the DMG, it creates the astrometry config file with the path on my computer. In response to some complaints about this path being wrong in the last beta version, I added this dialog and stored the correct path so that it could be easily changed with one click. But based on your comment here, and a discussion with Jasem, I guess that users would be confused by this dialog coming up every time they update the software. So, instead, I came up with a way to automate the process. In the next version, it will automatically update the path in the astrometry config file without needing user intervention.
Thank you Rob for your endeavours developing such a lovely software ! I will wait for the next release. In the new feature list of KStars 3.1.0, I saw that you developed a comprehensive script along with detailed documentation for building KStars with Craft on MacOS. I would like to help (another way than donation) : so I had a look to https://github.com/rlancaste/kstars-on-osx-craft. But it is too complicate for me (although I programmed for many years in Pascal in another life). Don't hesitate to contact me if I can help. Best regards.
Can you check v3.2.1?
No more problem with v. 3.2.1
