This item was confusing for many users.(in Japan)
The wonderful feature of the INDI driver is that it can be remotely controlled by the server and the client.
Please consider it as a proposal.
・ Capture format items
Used for setting the native items of DSLR and CCD cameras. In the driver, items that each camera supports are listed.
・ Transfer items
It becomes the item of transfer method between server and client.
This item is not necessary.
(It would be nice if the user was transferred quickly.)
This completes the driver settings.
When saving an image to the client, it is saved in the format specified in the capture format.
Add conversion items when saving to Ekos image viewer.
(I would be happy if batch processing such as Raw, Fits, Jpeg, Tiff, BMP etc. could be done.)
In this way, once the user sets the camera-native capture items, the remote client can operate in the same format.
If image conversion items are enhanced with an image viewer such as Ekos, users can convert image files arbitrarily.
At present, conversion items are mixed in the capture and transfer formats. (Fits etc.)
Some people misunderstand transfer raw as camera raw file.
I think that it is less misunderstood if the items are kept as simple as possible to match the user's flow.
(Although it is in Japanese, it is also featured on the blog.)
