Hey guys, I just built a new DMG. This includes quite a few improvements & changes to both INDI and KStars.
Sean you were absolutely right about the drivers list not being updated after you either click the Internal driver button or when you change the path to the INDI drivers in the options. The issue has not been fixed yet, but I think I know which classes to make the changes in. I tried last night, but it didn't work perfectly yet, we will need to work on it a little more.
Possibly the biggest improvements in this DMG are related to a project I have been working on for the past 2 weeks, which you probably already know about if you have been following the INDI forum. I created two big additions in the Align module. First, I created a graph that plots the error in all the solutions and a table that keeps track of all of the solutions with their respective errors. This can be exported to a CSV file which you can then open in programs like Excel or Numbers. Second. I created an automatic mount modeling tool, so that you can put in a bunch of SkyPoints that you would like to use for your mount to build its pointing model, and then automatically run through the list, solving all of the points which will then be plotted in the graph while at the same time making your mount pointing more accurate. I put in several ways to build your alignment points list, including combo boxes you can use to select named stars, a Find tool you can use to insert any object in the kstars database or from the internet, and a wizard you can use to automatically generate the points in a pattern.
Another pretty big improvement in INDI is the ability of INDI to scan for the appropriate serial ports for your equipment. One big complaint some users had was that the ports were kind of obscure and hard to discover. For example, my Moonlite focuser's port on my Mac is /dev/cu.usbserial-A501T0P6. Finding that out was NOT easy if you did not know how to find it. Now KStars/INDI can automatically find the port.
There are lots of other improvements too. Jasem has labeled this KStars 2.7.6 as a result.
KStars For Mac 2.7.6
Please Test,
Thanks,
