Hello

I would like to have your opinion ona problem I had last week.
I use astroberry (Kstars/Ekos/Indi) on a Raspberry PI 4
I wanted to do a session of EKOS with 540x light(10s) 100x dark(10s), 60x light(120s) and 30x(120s) dark.
The job was done.

But written files didn't match the sequence. I explain.
On the micro SD Card I have only 478 images (10s), only one image (120s), only one dark (10s) and only one dark (120s) !!

I don't understand why I don't have all files written on the micro SD card.
Since the 478 image, EKOS saves following images with the same name. And for following sequences it use the same name to different step of the sequence. Ex: to the sequence of 60x light, all the saved files had the same name "Light-120s-001.fit".

If you want, I made a transfert wih some screenshots, the log file and the analyze file: Exemple File: we.tl/t-kbrWAjWFQU

I hope my explaination is understantable.

Have you ever encountered the same problem ?

Do you have any idea to the reason of this problem ?

There had been a similar thread a few days ago. A quick fix seems to be to use timestamps in filenames

Thank you very much.
This is the right solution.
I tested it last night and it worked well.
Thanks again.

Good you managed to work around it.

Could you nevertheless specify what version of KStars/EKOS you use? The developers think it was an issue of an older version, so it is important to know if it happens with recent versions, too.

Yes, I do hope they resolve this soon, it has been over 12 months since I first reported it and it continues to be a major source of frustration.

Well, 3.5.8 is also quite old, so the first thing would be to try a recent version before claiming it's not fixed, is it?

Peter,

I can guarantee it is happening with a version I built around 3 weeks ago, which is running 64 bit Buster.

I haven't yet got a fully working version on Bullseye, but believe I am close to succeeding.

I will try the last version. May be next week, or next one.
I will comeback here to tell you if the problem is ok, or not.

It looks like we have a problem with file handles:
[2022-08-07T22:40:32.973 CEST INFO ][   org.kde.kstars.ekos.capture] - "Reçu une image 479 de 540."
[2022-08-07T22:40:32.976 CEST INFO ][   org.kde.kstars.ekos.capture] - "/home/astroberry/20220807-TestAcquisition/Light/Luminance/Light_10_secs_478.fits capturé"

At least we have now an indication that could cause the problem.
