Not saving frames from Nikon d5500 when set with "native" mode

Hi all -

I am experimenting with a client setup connected to my Nikon d5500 (and very new to INDI).

I have a Raspberry PI 3 connected to my d5500, the server started using the web interface set up with a Nikon DSLR. I spin up Ekos in a VM on my mac, connect as a client to the pi, start the indi server, and connect to the camera- all is well. Preview works, everything looks as it should.

When I try to take actual shots - that is the part isn't working how I want. When I have the camera settings set to FITS with compression off and take a real shot (sequence of 1) it downloads fine - takes about 80 seconds to transfer and save to the VM that Ekos is running on. When I switch to FITS/Compressed it takes about 60 seconds. In each case it saves the file to the specified directory.

If I switch to native instead of FITS the time to download drops down to about 20 seconds- but all it does is open up the Nikon DSLR viewer - it doesn't automatically save the file. Is there a setting that I am missing? I would really rather post-process these on the faster machine than on the PI.

Thanks,

-jamie

I just found this post "pending". Anyway, all these issues should be fixed by now.
