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. Before I release it, I will make sure that everything is working properly and then I will release it.
Are there any development plans to have scripts to integrate BlurXterminator, StarXterminator and NoiseXterminator into APP, perhaps similar to what Siril has done?

I came here to ask the same thing. Hopefully it can be done pretty easily.
I certainly would be in favour of APP acting as a graphic front end to these tools, but they are now pretty easy to use with APP as is.
I just purchased and installed the RC-Tools standalone package, and immediately tested them with APP on Linux Mint. I did a test integration and without closing APP I opened a window, ran Blurexterminator, then went back to APP and loaded the new fits as if it was an integration. Then went straight to the LPR tool to test that it worked. It was all good.
The only issues were:
Blurexterminator couldn't access my GPU and fell back to CPU processing. Not an issue with APP - just something I need to sort out. Even using CPU processing it was still fairly fast.
I'll probably write a script or graphic front end to make the CLI interface to Blurexterminator more convenient. Really not a big issue - but I value convenience.

What a wonderful idea, having the RC Astro tools available in APP, to be able to use Blur X and Noise X before shipping the images out to other software would be the icing on the cake for APP users who have purchased these superb tools 👍🏻
Well I have build a windows GUI that will run the 3 Xterminator tools, seems to work very well, anyone interested in testing it with me, let me know, it’s modern and sleek and runs pretty darn fast, BlurX is actually 40% that running in PI
@astroshed Sorry I use Mac based technology.
I still hope under APP tools that some options for RC-Astro tools can be developed.
