Saving Projects

Hi all,

Thank you all very much for sharing your concern.

Like Vincent indicated, we are working on this for the 2.0 stable release, both loading/saving your settings and whole projects. 2.0.0 is a new release cycle and would have been the 1.084 version in the old release cycle. Due to big development issues on especially macOS  (our old development platform was no longer supported/regarded safe by Apple and the new Apple Silicon hardware) we had to prioritize to move APP to a new development platform hence a long beta period to get to 2.0. All the major migration isssues have been solved and tackled now and 2.0 stable is close for sure.

As you know we have been saving more and more settings in APP per restart and we are now ready to do this for all tabs 0)-6). In addition, 2 beta's ago, I re-organised APP's output of all the metadata and analytical data (added 3 new columns by splitting 3 columns and the column order can now be changed easily and is remembered) in preparation for saving and loading all of this information. This all works well now and I agree that it should not be very difficult now to implement this highly requested feature on which I will work in the coming period for sure.

Please let us know if you have more or other concerns as well.

From a year and a day ago, "I agree that it should not be very difficult now to implement this highly requested feature on which I will work in the coming period for sure."

From the notes, not on the list for beta 30. Maybe sometime this year??

We soon will have second anniversary of APP 2.0.0 beta... Dont get me wrong, APP is my favourite program for astrophotography. But saving projects would be a wonderful feature for many people here. It would be so nice to have something like a .prj file which you can load and start over an older project without searching for flats, biases, used lights... Just include new lights or something...

Yes, development is incredibly slow!😕
