can I select more the 1 file at a time during the load step?. having about 120 lights there must be a way to select more then 1 and load them all. example with DDS I could highlight the files and add them.
edit - I meant deep sky stacker DSS
Hi Keithit,
Certainly, in the window where you can select the files, you can use ctrl-a for instance to select all files matching the file filter (for instance all CR2s or FITS), or the ctrl and/or shift key (windows) to select certain files.
Let me know if this helps 😉

If you hold down 'shift' and the arrow keys you can highlight as many as required 🙂 Then they will load into the lower console
I've been doing the same as I did in DSS. That is, highlight all the files (subs) that I want and add them all at once. It should work the same way as DSS for adding subs (lights).
It would be useful to allow mouse drag select though. I only have one arm so I use mouse and its always clear when developers dont consider anyone using their software the same way they do and should always allow for maximum flexibility and accessibility by their users.
Also since APP "saves" user choices so next run they are used, eg in the left tabs, that the file loader should do the same so when we chooseour preferred input format it reuses that next time the loader is opened our preferred format is already filter. A little consistency in user experience wouldn't go amiss.
Hi Keithit,
Were you able to select multiple files at once now?

That is a good suggestion, so APP would need to memorize the image filter as well if you open the file chooser the next time. I'll add this to my TODO list.
