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 think I have heard that this is possibly coming, but for now, what is everyone using to review your images to weed out the bad ones. I know in PI they use a tool called blink. what is available so that we don't waste processing time on bad frames?
You get the quality score of each frame - sorted. Dump the poorer ones if you want. Also under Integration you can set the weight to quality which gives the least weight to the poorer quality images. Blink seems a backward step to whats already in APP.
I had been going through them after Analyse Stars, didn't even see the Quality dropdown in Integrate, which of the methods do you normally use?
If they are really bad I dump them after looking at the quality score. However, I often keep borderline ones because when you use the Quality Setting it weighs them on noise, star density, star size and star shape. So, they aren't treated equally when integrated.  I stopped using blink when I got APP. I really don't know why it has been requested as I think the APP way is superior especially if you use both methods.
You can also do the star analysis done when registering and when you get the star quality results in the list below, you can right-click on that list and then scroll to the graph options. Here you can plot various parameters against each other. We want to make this graph itself interactive if possible, but that’s not in yet. You can use it to see if it helps you making better selections.
I will give it a look Vincent
