Description Jean-Claude 2019-03-14 18:45:02 UTC
SUMMARY
A wonderful part of KStars/Ekos is its simulator.
Here we can learn how to handle the different modules during day time and cloudy nights. Wonderful.
Usually I set my simulator modules with the same parameters as for my real equipment.
The annoying part is that I must reset most of these parameters each time : I couldn't find a way to save my simulator settings.
Would it be possible to plan this ?
Thanks

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Jasem Mutlaq 2019-03-15 06:51:50 UTC
INDI Control Panel --> Options --> Configuration --> Save

This does not work?
Comment 2 Jean-Claude 2019-03-15 07:22:37 UTC
There is no problem saving the settings in the INDI Control Panel.
I was talking about saving the settings in EKOS.
For instance, I have a color camera (thus no filter wheel).
I can set this in the field FW of the EKOS Capture Module.
If I quit KStars and reopen it, the field FW is set again to CCD Simulator.
Comment 3 Jean-Claude 2019-03-15 07:23:51 UTC
The same for the Limit Settings, etc...
Comment 4 Jean-Claude 2019-03-15 07:59:52 UTC
I just found that the 4 Limit Settings in the Capture Module (i.e. Guiding Deviation, Autofocus if HFR>, Refocus every, Meridian Flip) are saved after a job has been recorded.
They are not saved after a Preview.
The other options are never saved.
It would be nice to have a Save button on each module
Comment 5 Jean-Claude 2019-03-15 17:47:54 UTC
The same applies to the Focus settings in the Focuser Module : The focus settings are saved only if an Autofocus has been executed except (Focuser/Steps) and (CCD & Filter Wheel/FW)
Comment 6 Jasem Mutlaq 2019-08-08 01:10:14 UTC
Please check 3.3.4
Comment 7 Jean-Claude 2019-08-08 07:18:25 UTC
I will as soon as the dmg will be available.
Thank you !
Comment 8 Jean-Claude 2019-08-08 12:36:50 UTC
I tested the last Kstars v. 3.3.4 using the simulator :
- in the Observatory panel : very handy CW and CCW buttons which can be stopped on a clic; I couldn't make work the new Move (rel) button. That panel is getting richer.
- in the Focus panel : the focus settings are now saved (Bin, Exp, FW, Box Size, etc)
- in the CCD panel : the Limits Settings are now saved (Guiding Deviation, Autofocus if HFR>, Refocus every). The sensor size is not displayed to its default value (in my case  4656x3520). The FW is not saved.
You've done a beautiful job !
