SOQyT v1.3.2

What's New in v1.3.2

New Features

• SIMBAD Filters panel — collapsible filter section under the SIMBAD checkbox: Object Type, Period range, Max Mag range, and Ref year range. When filters are set and RA/Dec is left blank, SIMBAD runs a catalog-wide filter-only scan with no spatial constraint.
• VSX Filters panel — collapsible filter section under the AAVSO VSX checkbox: Var Type (74 standard types + free-text), Period range, Max Mag range, and Amplitude ≥ (computed as MinMag − MaxMag). Var Type is applied server-side; other filters are applied client-side.
• Individual VizieR sub-catalog checkboxes — 2MASS, AllWISE, APASS, Tycho-2, and WDS each have their own enable/disable checkbox, replacing the single VizieR toggle.
• Batch auto-run timer — shows start time and live elapsed time counter (Xh Ym Zs) while auto-run is active; elapsed time shown in completion and cancellation messages.
• Application icon — SOQyT.ico displayed in the title bar, taskbar, and embedded in the Windows executable. macOS builds now include a native .icns icon.
• Check for Updates dialog — Help → Check for Updates now shows a confirmation dialog when already running the latest version.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed: batch queries containing WDS designations now return results from all catalogs. A VizieR fallback lookup retrieves the WDS RA/Dec when SIMBAD returns no position, enabling cone searches on all other catalogs.
• Fixed: when a SIMBAD filter-only scan was active with no RA/Dec, WDS was incorrectly running an unconstrained query returning all 157,000+ entries. WDS now correctly shows 'Not searched' unless its own RA/Dec range filters are set.
• Fixed: in the Configure Batch Import dialog, switching to 'By Coordinates' mode no longer pushes buttons below the coordinate dropdowns.

User Guide

• Table of Contents links now scroll the selected section to the top of the view.
• Added warning note in the Filters section explaining that filter-only searches require 'By Coordinates' mode.
