Load & Slew in Solver Control

I have been testing the load image & slew in the Solver Control, whilst utilising the ansvr locally installed solver...

- ansvr installed & working correctly (tested with PinPoint which also supports a local solver)
- the test FITS image has the correct header required

It seems as if Ekos just doesn't give it enough time to solve the image... if I dig out the logs from the Windows PC, it does show it completed successfully

I include 2 logs files :
- log_ansvr.txt : is the log file in the ansvr cygwin structure (C:\Users\Phil\AppData\Local\cygwin_ansvr\var\tmp\platesolve\000010 in my case)
- ekos_window.txt : the solve window output as seen in the Solver Control

So, in summary... ansvr does solve the image, as per it's log file, but Ekos just doesn't seem to give it enough time

EDIT:
Every so often, it does solve... but it just seems random....
Also, note, it solves EVERY time via nova.astrometry.net web interface AND via PinPoint (maybe takes about a minute or sp)

Can you attach the image? I'll try to make the timeout adjustable.

EDIT:
The ansvr default timeout is set for 480s - see the config screen

I had a play with an Ubuntu VM I have...

I found that changing the JOB_RETRY_DURATION in onlineastrometryparser.cpp from 2000ms to 10000ms seemed to do the trick... ultimately, I would suggest it would be best to have these as parametesr in the Ekos Astrometry options section...

Tested with the same files & works fine now, thanks....
