Hi Ferrante, I was wondering your thoughts about a generalized CSV import capability for AD. There are lots of ways folks might want to associate/import CSV data, and it's likely impossible to think of them all specifically. Having a general CSV import interface might be ideal. Needed would be a way to associate the primary field (e.g. filename?), plus field name definition(s). Against those, import of values could proceed. For example, CCD_Inspector can generate useful CSV information (indirectly, through clipboard, but then via Excel -> CSV). Here's a sample of some fields of interest (there are other fields....this is just an example) that would be nice to associate:
Date & Time, Image File, FWHM, Aspect (%), Background (adu), Stars Used, Contrast Ratio, Curvature, Temperature
6/11/2020 1:16, M_27_Light_023.fits, 3.24", 14, 792, 2940, 31.59, 21.6, -5
6/11/2020 0:47, M_27_Light_011.fits, 3.29", 19, 712, 2949, 32.65, 33.1, -5
6/11/2020 1:16, M_27_Light_024.fits, 3.31", 25, 792, 2911, 31.91, 18.8, -5
Clearly, some pre-massage on data might be required of users (e.g. removal of " for arcsecs), but what do you think?
Could a mechanism for new CSV field(s) definition, plus an association key, allow import of more generic CSV data?
Just wondering.... Doug
