I have had a very rough 2 months unfortunately health wise. I was struck 3x in a row with bacterial infections. The second infection occurred  after a routine hospital checkup and I became very sick. I had to rest and take a lot of antibiotics. Once I was recovering and restarting work 1 month ago, I again became sick. The infection was not yet gone, so even more antibiotics and rest was needed. Needless to say, it took a lot of my energy and I needed a lot of rest.
Finally, the infection is really gone and my energy is coming back step-by-step now and I have started work again. I am terribly sorry to have kept you waiting for support. I will address all outstanding questions and e-mails step-by step and will be on the forum daily from today.
APP 2.0.0-beta47 will come soon as well, a lot of work was already completed before I became very ill, so the release is also nearly ready for you. Beta47 will be much faster actually. Many workflows will be more than 2x faster, mosaics can even be 10x faster than before because registration really received a major boost... all compared to beta46. Â Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
I am sure I am doing something wrong, however I am unable to figure out what. I create an artificial flat which corrects a single image VERY well and looks like it should when viewing the Master. When trying to view the single l-calibrated image APP just sits there showing "loading new image into image viewer" at the top. The following is what shows up in the console.Â

Also I cannot stack using the artificial master flat. I truly hope you can help, the flats correct the individual images perfectly, yet I can't seem to get the artificial master flat to apply.
I have placed a single image, the Artificial Master Flat, and Master Dark here.Â
I have downloaded your data and I have located the bug. There indeed is one. It has to do with the artifical flat being 3 channel data and the masterdark being 1 channel CFA data. APP has a problem.
I will fix this and will make sure that this fix is included in the next APP release 😉
