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.
Hello APP team,
Â
I am a lazy astrophotographer. I am really liking the recent changes to APP where we can load all the files in the APP application and directly jump to integrate to get the final result. I then tweak the result (crop, light pollution removal etc.) in the Tools tab. This is my current workflow.
I am also adept with various scripting tools in Bash, python + windows bat (if I really have to) etc. Is it possible to run the stacking and integration (specifically workflow processes (1) Load to -> (6) Integrate completely by script? For example, I am happy to generate a JSON with a list of Lights, Flats, Darks etc. that I can then call the APP on to get a output.fits in my working folder. I can then use the APP UI to use the 'Tools' to make my tweaks.
I feel I am too lazy to use the APP UI to load all these files with 10 - 15 clicks to move through the file dialogs each time. Â
All this of course assuming the APP team is not planning to have, say Python bindings for the various processing tools. that would be ideal 🙂 Kindly let me know your thoughts.

That is indeed an interesting thought, however at the moment Mabula isn't going into scripting as far as I know. We are looking into the idea of a watch folder for instance, but that's not being worked on at the moment.
Thanks for all your kind words btw, that's always a joy to hear especially in the weekend. 😉
