Crash log

SUMMARY

Clicking on connect in the INDI-Control panel lets Ekos crash.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Configure something: I changed the pixel size of my camera to the correct values.
2. Click connect on the camera panel. This connects the camera, not all devices.
3. Now click connect on the current profile panel. This crashes reproducable.

OBSERVED RESULT
Ekos crashes.

EXPECTED RESULT
Whatever the user can do in the UI it should not crash.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
macOS: Big sur

I had some similar reports of this bug and I was experiencing it myself sometimes, but it was happening intermittently and there were periods where it didn't happen at all.  I had no clue about it, but I think we recently got a very good clue.  Can you try this fix and see if it works for you?  I still don't know exactly what causes this, but turning off the logging settings, particularly for CCD seems to make a big difference.
