It would be great if selecting Auto Dark would close the flip-flat automatically to take the auto dark and then open again. If this is difficult though, Ekos should at least not lock the INDI control panel from being able to do things like control the flip-flat. When Auto Dark is selected, a dialog box is popped up to continue. This box prevents buttons from being pressed in the INDI control panel. See image.

Thanks!

Any thoughts on this @knro ?

It is non-blocking now in GIT. I also make it so that if dust cap is parked and light images are queued, it would unpark the cap.

That's great, thanks!
