If you update KStars tomorrow, all your prior drivers selection will be gone! But do not despair, there is now a driver profile editor similar to the profiles in
INDI Web Manager
.
By default, there is the Simulators profile, and you can add as many profiles as needed, both local and remote. If you encounter a bug in the new profiles, please met know.
I've updated this morning my VM (apt-get update/upgrade) but I cannot see the profiles in Kstars.
