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, When calculation of new star colour calibration is ongoing, pressing "OK & SAVE" causes the computer to freeze and inevitably have to restart APP. It happens already a long time (previous versions too)
and when you know it you just wait for APP to finish the calibration before saving the result. I think it can be simply circumvented by disabling the key until the program is ready. I am using APP version 2.0.0 beta 41 on a Mac mini M2-Pro processor.
Hi Mario @mario-pinto
Thank you very much for mentioning this issue.Â
So the hang/freeze occurs because you push the OK & SAVE button while APP is still calculating, right? I will test it and fix it for the next version 😉

Hi Mabula, thanks, yes, that is my observation. By the way, APP works fantastically, stacking 300+ frames of 50MB is running smoothly and this issue is more related to my lack of patience ;-). Â Best Regards, Mario
Great Mario, thanks for the feedback 😉 Great to hear that all the optimizations in beta41 are working well for you !
I fully appreciate reporting this issue, it is a bug for sure and I will fix it.

Hi Mario @mario-pinto,
I have fixed the issue for the next release 😉 :
FIXED CORRECT VIGNETTING, REMOVE LIGHT POLLUTION, CALIBRATE BACKGROUND, CALIBRATE STAR COLORS
As reported here https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/main-forum/star-colour-saving-causes-computer-freeze/#post-34327 if APP is calculating in the Calibrate Star Colors tool and you would push the OK & SAVE button while still calculating, APP would freeze and it would also produce an error on the command line through system out. This bug was present in all 4 tools as indicated in the bullet point for this release note. Another bug was pushing the Cancel button while calculating, it would also produce an error on the command line. Both bugs have been solved. If you push the OK & SAVE button while calculating, the tools will simply wait until the calculation is finished. If you push the cancel button while calculating, the tool will stop properly instantly without showing an error on the command line. During these tools, a little popup window can appear showing progress, we have removed this popup because it no longer serves a purpose and can be quite annoying as well.
I have also removed the annoying popup window in these tools, for some users on some platforms that little popup window creates not nice behaviour.

Super, thanks Mabula!
