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.
Hi,
Â
Why is it now impossible to get less than 10% stretch on images??  The stretch slider has been changed lately and it is impossible to have less than 10% stretch on images.  It also impossible to save custom stretches.  This is a big blow.  I would have expected more options for stretching as new releases are coming out, not less.  i m going to have to revert to an older version to get that functionality back.
Wow, that's a "really nice" way to report some error!

In my version (beta22) st-slider is still working as before. What's yours?

You were able to save custom stretches before? How?
(I do think this would be a nice option though...)

I would have expected that other long time users (like me), would ask first, if a change was intended (or maybe is a bug?). And if it was intended, you could still ask, to get the change reverted or the missing option back. Or even to get new options implemented (like more stretch presets).
Devs are thankful for error reports and suggestions, you know? But the least thing you could do is to present them politely...
If the aggressive undertone in your post was not intended, I apologize for my answer...
Â
It is not an error. The stretch slider has been modified in a recent update making it impossible to go less than a 10% preset stretch,  limiting user's option.Â
Maybe Support will tell me when that happened so I can revert to the previous version?
 Yes my tone was a frustrated one as number of things requested in the past by a number of users have never been implemented. For eg, a way to save stretch presets and save projects have been requested at least 4 years ago. It still hasn't happened. It has been requested many times by more than one user.
Hi this is now posted twice @tempusfugitxxii. Maybe a mistake? See https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/main-forum/impossible-to-stretch-less-than-10/
I will continue in that other duplicate topic because you have share helpful screenshots.
