UPDATE FROM MABULA
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.
Hey everyone, I had a quick search of the previous topics and can't find anything about this.
I've recently moved to 2x binning most osf my data by realised my dawn flats were being created using 1x data. I will eventually collect some 2x flats so this is a short term problem, but I was wondering if APP down-samples/scales my flats to match the geometry of the 2x images or if they are not being used at all.Â
Which makes me think it would be great to know what calibration files are applied to each image and to be able to modify it manually if APP ever gets it wrong.

Hi Paul @xthestreams,
In the current calibration engine, masters that have a different dimension than the lights are not used. So bin1x1 masters are not applied on bin2x2 lights. We will make this possible going forward, but I can only recommend that you create masters of the same resolution as the lights, especially for flats where flats also help on pixel scale to correct pixels in how they behave on the incoming light. Not all pixels behave perfectly linear and flats can help to correct this as well 😉
APP shows you clearly which masters are used after step 2) Calibrate, in the Frame List Panel at then bottom, you have the frame column on the left. The masters that are attached to the lights are shown in that column 😉
APP always checks for compatibility of masters with lights in terms of pixel dimensions, ISO/gain and exposure 😉
Hope this answers your question?

Thanks Mabula - I had assumed as much on teh geometry question, but it was worth checking. I went back and captured some bin2x flats and still had a problem until I realised that (looking that the column I had never noticed before!) that it was using the same flat for everything (I had selected the "use the same choice for everything checkbox, I assumed it would only apply the same answer for the same filter type and same session, but it applied to all).
Once I fixed that it worked great! Thanks!
