After reading topics in this forum, for setting camera (ZWOasi 185mc) Gain, Offset, Bit depth, debayer etc., I cannot access these settings.
I am running the newest version of this app on an iMac with El Capitan.
My camera is recognized and connects just fine. I can see a preview of the camera in the Fits viewer.
Also, is it possible to add the features to save the OSC capture in TIFF and PNG formats?
It would save the steps required to get the color from the saved captures.

Thank you for your help.

What's exactly the problem? What do you mean you cannot access these settings? Do you know how custom properties work?

Jasem, first I do not appreciate your snippy attitude.
If you are trying to provide a helpful answer, please do that.
My subject line clearly stated that the Custom Properties button does not work.
It is not a matter of wether I understand what the Custom Properties do, but that there is a problem with the application.
Pressing that button has no effect. I was able to access the additional camera properties by another path.
So the issue is, that there seems to be a bug in the version of kstars/ekos that I installed.
All the other camera and capture functions seem to work.
So if you or someone else can provide a useful answer, I would appreciate that.

Hello Fivel,

Could you please take a screenshot of what you're trying to access please, also please enable verbose logging and provide us with the logs.
It's the only way we can look as to what might not work.

Does not work as in the "Custom Properties" dialog is not shown at all?

Here is an update as to the issue.
I finally found where the "missing" Custom Properties info window shows up.
It opens up behind the kstars window and any opened control panel windows, such as the Ekos or Indi control panels.
So unless I minimize or close the other windows, I would not even know that the Custom Properties window opens.
Can this be corrected, to have that window open up in front of any other opened windows?
