Quick start guide 5 - administration![]() The plugin needs a lot of parameters and settings, so it is recommended to set up various profiles for different use cases (different planets, color/mono mode, etc.). A 'common' profile is always present, further profiles can be added by the user. The 'Profile' button opens a drop down menu with various options. Click on 'New profile', and enter your preferred location for storing saved images. All other values can be left at their default settings for the beginning. Together with the parameters in the profile dialog, all option values (stream/stacking/postprocessing and system options) are saved in the profile. Apart from the profiles, some data are held in a central configuration file. These are e.g. the preview image size, the pre-stacking counts, the actually selected profile etc. Save the configuration to let the plugin load the settings automatically on the next start. Note that the plugin is not informed by FC on shutdowns, so no automatic saving of profiles and configuration is possible. Remember to do it manually, when needed. Consult the chapter Administration for further details. |
