Hi,

I'm running als 0.7 dev 1533ab0. When opening any settings with "Change" button, the app crashes when trying to open the dialog box (cored dumped).

Running on linux mint 20

Hi, thank you for your report

i'm afraid @deufrai is really busy at the moment, and he won't be able to help us
did you try other releases, at least the latest ?

hi,

yes, I tried the latest version and the problem persisted. I managed to execute from the source/git version and that problem is solved. However, it crashed again while stacking

This bug is known and we have a workaround, could you try it ?

Find file ".als.cfg" in your home folder (hidden file...), or create it if it doesnt exists.

And update its content with this, of course adapt username and folder names :

[main]

scan_folder_path = /home/yourusername/Desktop/als_scan

work_folder_path = /home/yourusername/Desktop/als_work

window_geometry = 0,52,1920,1000

log_level = DEBUG

full_screen = 0

www_dedicated_folder = 0

web_folder_path = /home/yourusername/Desktop/als_work

alignment_minimum_match_count = 25

use_master_dark = 1

use_hot_pixel_remover = 1

save_on_stop = 0

web_refresh_period = 5

night_mode = 0

master_dark_file_path = /home/yourusername/Desktop/masterDark.fit

lang = en

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I was aware of that file; and that's the workaround I thought. The problem is that I may need to change the dark very frequently, and that's a bit cumbersome.

In any case, good to know that the bug is known.

Just for my knowledge; is this software still maintained. It's a great piece of software with many useful tools (the web service is really useful) and would be a pity it comes unmaintained :(

Thanks for the effort to all the team.
