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.
I am using the latest version of APP in a trial basis on an IMac. I have been through the process several times and have had reasonable success ( for a beginner). For the last week or so I have been trying to use the program but I can't load any files into APP. With the working directory on screen I can the directory down to folders and sub folders but when I open these it shows nothing although the files are definitely there. In the file type box there is no file type showing and nothing on the dropdown. I am probably missing something obvious but has any one any ideas how to correct this please as the program is unusable at the moment.
ThankyouÂ
Hi @chrisby18,
Thank you for your question and welcome to the APP forum.
The application starts with asking you to select a working directory. In this directory, APP will store all results and also temporary files while integrating.
The File Chooser states: select your working directory
So your first step is to just choose a work directory. After having chosen a work directory, you can load frames with the lights, darks, flats, bias buttons and they should show up then 😉
I pressed the light button after having chosen the lights folder as my working directory, now I can see/select an load the frames.
Let me know if this solves it for you 😉
Kind regards,
Mabula
Hi Mabula,
Thank-you for your very prompt reply, I feel a bit of an idiot now, I thought I was doing just as you suggest but realise I was pressing lights and then trying to find the files rather than, as you say pressing and choosing the directory button first.
Thank you once again, APP is the best program of its type, I have tried, and I will be taking out a subscription very soon.
Chris.
