Saving Projects  

Hi @Ianties,

Yes indeed, it has been requested several times. It's on my list, so it will come for sure 😉

Saving/loading projects and also saving/loading of all settings in all menus.

Mabula

Fantastic news. Thank you

FYI, I gave a presentation to our Raleigh, NC Imaging club about APP and several people said the ability to do this - save a project - was something that was holding them back from trying APP.  

Cheers,

Rowland

Very good to know, thanks Rowland. Personally I wouldn't let that get in my way as it's producing some very unique things already, but when people do decide that to be the main issue, that's something that needs to be addressed.

I would really like this as I do a lot of multi-filter, multi session processing and as someone above mentions, it takes a great deal of concentration and time to load files correctly. 

Even just saving the Loaded Files would be a massive benefit - perhaps a good Phase 1 (Quick Win) of the Save Project change? 

On the same subject, it would be great if a report could be generated after loading files that would facilitate checking that the correct files had loaded.  

Checking is also hampered by there being no way (that I can find) to sort the file list on "Frame" - could this be added? I frequently find that, for example, the file list shows my Green lights with Reds in the middle. If I could sort by Filter and Session I coul dat least get them all together for checking.

Thanks

Myself and 1 other are holding back in buying APP until you can save the default setting, it's so frustrating having to change all the different settings every time you you open the software only to find you have missed something

I ve already bought an owner's license, but I, too, miss that feature.

But I also see that there are many other features being worked: GPU-support, more postprocessing tools (masks, sharpening, denoise), to name just a few most relevant to me.

So I am happily looking forward to APP 2.0 😊

It would be good to see some of the bugs fixed before further development is done, I'm wondering if I did the right thing buying an owners license.

The multi-session/multi filter processing needs looking at- reported it ages ago but no update on when it will be resolved.

Personally I bought a renters license because I want to keep supporting Mabula on an ongoing basis.  I don't use multi-session because I calibrate after every imaging session and then integrate the calibrated frames when I'm done.   

Mabula is just one person and what he has accomplished so far is pretty amazing - I think he has built the best pre-processing engine available.  

That said, I'll bet all of his users have different priorities on what he should be working on next.  It would save me time every time I pre-process to have some kind of project capability like this, so I'd still like to see it.  

Personally I'd like to see Mabula's attention turned away from the pre-processing phase for a few months - it feels like we might be reaching the point of diminishing returns there.  But just my opinion - and mostly because I'd love to see how he tackles the post-processing phase and some of the quality-of-life things like projects.  Today I use APP through integration, cropping, light pollution removal, and RGB combination.  I then take my masters over to PI to finish.  It would be great to be able to stay with APP through the whole process, especially if Mabula could do that phase as nicely as he has pre-processing.

Cheers,
Rowland

I can understand people wanting new features but I purchased it for pre-processing and having paid quite a lot for the full license its disappointing that bugs are not being given priority.
