I'm close to be ready to provide a new driver for the Optec IFW filter wheel, and have to finish the manual for it. When I've used the indi_getprop to list all available properties within this drivers I've got a surprise as some properties are displayed twice. I've done the same check with indi_simulator_wheel and indi_eqmod_telescope. In all cases some properties are displayed twice.
For Filterwheel and Telescope they are:
- XXX.DEVICE_PORT.PORT
- XXX.USEJOYSTICK.ENABLE
- XXX.USEJOYSTICK.DISABLE

Existing only on FilterWheel (For sure :-) )
- Filter Simulator.FILTER_SLOT.FILTER_SLOT_VALUE
- Filter Simulator.FILTER_NAME.FILTER_SLOT_NAME_1
- Filter Simulator.FILTER_NAME.FILTER_SLOT_NAME_2
- Filter Simulator.FILTER_NAME.FILTER_SLOT_NAME_3
- Filter Simulator.FILTER_NAME.FILTER_SLOT_NAME_4
- Filter Simulator.FILTER_NAME.FILTER_SLOT_NAME_5

Checked on one Latop with Ubunto mate 16.04 and on VM INDI
Any idea? A bug or specific raison?

Hello,
I just stambled over the same issue. Seems all values which can be set are reported twice.
For the filter wheels: The simulator reports both the same values for each filter slot, but for ATIK EFW2 the values are different. The first contains the correct (means the value which was set) and the second contains the default value. Unfortunately the second (=last) value is returned when examing a single element, which is the wrong value then.
So ... I'ld say this is a bug :unsure: :S
