May 27 2026 APP 2.0.0-beta45 has been released !
Fully Multi-Threaded LNC, many improvements for the registration engine, platform upgrade, and further tuning of internal memory consumption and memory release back to OS.
Apr 14 2026: Google Pay, Apple Pay & WeChat Pay added as payment options
Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.
While loading RAF files taken from x-t20 camera, I got the following error message:
"LibRaw 201910 snapshot can't open/read this file...
Can't read the file string using the system's locale character set..."
Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?
Thanks
@ofergol Which version of APP do you use? Mabula has tested the support of RAF files for many cameras including yours so with APP 1.080 and higher is should work. See

I know it is supposed to work.
I'm using version 1.082
@ofergol OK just making sure that you're using the latest version 🙂 Can you please upload one or a few raw files to
https://upload.astropixelprocessor.com/
using username and password upload3 please? Create a directory ofergol_fuji_x_t20 and put the files in there and we will have a look. Many thanks!
OK. I uploaded just a few files. the problem happens with any number of files.
Thanks

Ok, this seems to be an interesting issue as I can load the frames without a problem. Can you @wvreeven ? Apparently something to do with libraw, but to my knowledge this should be included in the APP distribution. Did you change anything regarding the APP installation?
@vincent-mod
No. I made no change.
@vincent-mod, @ofergol for me also no problem to load the images into APP. Ofer, what operating system are you on?
@ofergol I just had a thought. Can you try to load one of your files and then minimize the APP screen? There should be a console window behind it. Can you copy and paste here any error message visible in the console? Perhaps that helps us to resolve this issue.
@ofergol The problem happens because of the name of the directory in which the LIGHT directory is placed. Please rename that using only ASCII characters or make sure you use an UTF-8 encoding instead of a Windows encoding.
solved!
Thanks a lot 👍
