Astrometry.net detection was created by Thomas Seckler

Running Kstars 3.1.0 on Arch linux with astrometry.net version 0.76. Opening the alignment tab the message Detected Astrometry.net version, da is displayed. Ekos then sets the astrometry option to --no-fits2fits. which does not apply to version 0.76. Is there a way to disable this option permanently instead of changing each time I open Ekos?

In alignment tab, does it indicate which astrometry.net version it detected?

No. All it displays is "Detected Astrometry.net version, da" whereas in Ubuntu Mate on another computer it displays "Detected Astrometry.net version 0.73"
It seems like it is not detecting version 0.76 used with Arch Linux.

So KStars uses this to find the version:
solveField.start("bash", QStringList() << "-c"
                     << (solverPath + " --help | grep Revision"));
    solveField.waitForFinished();
    QString output = solveField.readAllStandardOutput();
    qCDebug(KSTARS_EKOS_ALIGN) << "solve-field Revision" << output;

As there is no reliable way between the older versions ~0.6 and newer ones to know the version except for the above. Let me know what you get from the above command. If you have a better command that works across different versions let me know and I'll replace it.
