Update on the 2.0.0 release & the full manual
We are getting close to the 2.0.0 stable release and the full manual. The manual will soon become available on the website and also in PDF format. Both versions will be identical and once released, will start to follow the APP release cycle and thus will stay up-to-date to the latest APP version.
Once 2.0.0 is released, the price for APP will increase. Owner's license holders will not need to pay an upgrade fee to use 2.0.0, neither do Renter's license holders.

Astro Pixel Processor 2.0.0-beta2
- IMPROVED: USER INTERFACE: IMAGE VIEWER & FRAME LIST PANEL restored to same as in 1.083, by default, APP will have the frame list & image viewer in the main window again. You can choose from 4 window setups now with the CFG menu and all will be remembered between restarts of APP. Please note that depending on hardware, Operating System and drivers, the image viewer can have significant better performance if it is detached especially on macOS M1 hardware:
- 1 Main window with both frame list and image viewer
- 2 Main window with image viewer and separate window with frame list
- 3 Main window with frame list and separate window with image viewer
- 4 Main window and separate window with frame list and separate window with image viewer
CFG menu with option to attach/detach image viewer and or frame list panel
1) Main window with both frame list and image viewer (exactly like 1.083 and earlier)
2) Main window with image viewer and separate window with frame list
3) Main window with frame list and separate window with image viewer
4) Main window and separate window with frame list and separate window with image viewer
- IMPROVED: TOOL INTERFACE: we are making the interface of the tools more consistent. And the tool console outputs have moved into the new Tabbedpane with general console and header info. The following 4 tools have changed their appearance:
- Correct Vignettting
- Remove Light Pollution
- Calibrate Background
- Star Color Calibration
- FIXED: Windows, macOS, Linux (HiDPI) OpenGL Image Viewer with desktop scaling: The 2.0.0-beta1 version did not deal correctly with desktop scaling on all platforms. This is now fixed and will work in a multiple screen setup where the screens have different desktop scaling factors. Issue was reported in 2 topics:
- IMPROVED: LINUX HiDPI support: the DEB and RPM installers now have 2 desktop files, so you can now simply choose how to start APP, regular or a HiDPI version for high resolution monitors. So no special installers are needed anymore for a HiDPI APP version like we provided in 2.0.0-beta1:
- FIXED: LINUX DEB & RPM startup script: as reported by Janos here: https://www.astropixelprocessor.com/community/linux/app-2-0-0-beta-1-exit-0pk-bug/ If you start APP from the commandline, you will see that it cleanly exits now.
