Camera temperature changes when making dark library

I am running Stellamate 1.72 on an rpi4. I had my Zwo533mc camera set at-10c and I tried to make a dark library for the purposes of PA and focussing. When I hit start in the library window the “enforce temp value” box on the camera tab gets ticked and the desired CCD temp changes from -10c to zero. Since I have not actually made a dark library for a cooled camera before, I thought maybe it was associated with SM 1.7.2 so changed to SM 1.7.0 which has the same problem. I can understand that the enforce temp box is ticked but why does the “desired CCD temp” get changed to zero? Is this a bug or is this 0 degrees value set elsewhere? What am I missing?
Thanks

There is a selection for temperature ranges in the dark library itself. By default to 0 degrees to 0 degrees. You can change that to -10 to -10. I suppose setting a default value would be better.

Thanks Jasem. My wife says all the time that I look but don't see.

I changed it to pickup current camera temperature as a starting point to avoid falling into this issue.

Hi Jasem,

I felt into this trap too months ago, so it's a good improvement.

I have one question about that modification. By default, do you feed only the starting temperature or both starting and ending temperature with the current camera temperature ?
