Running ubuntu 22.04 KStars 3.6.3 and indi 2.0.0. Having failures saving images.Seems like the problem that comes and goes from time to time.

Whether or not related, do not have control of the directory to use for saving images. KStars/Ekos and the drivers are running on the Odroid but the same issue is happening on a x86-64 system.

In Ekos specify to save the image locally and specify "/astro/collect"
On the indi camera panel specify client "/astro/collect". These local/remote settings do not seem to effect the problem.
I save and reload the indi setting and it is stable.

In the indi panel when it starts taking an image it changes the directory specification to use backward slash "\astro\collect\Light\LPR".
It fails to save the images and has in the past created a directory named "~\astro\collect\Light\LPR" in the home directory, at times placing files in that directory. Usully it just fails without the directory being created.

I don't know where the back slash specification is coming from the .indi directory after failure looks normal:

<newSwitchVector device='ZWO CCD ASI294MM Pro' name='UPLOAD_MODE'>
<oneSwitch name='UPLOAD_CLIENT'>
Off
</oneSwitch>
<oneSwitch name='UPLOAD_LOCAL'>
On
</oneSwitch>
<oneSwitch name='UPLOAD_BOTH'>
Off
</oneSwitch>
</newSwitchVector>
<newTextVector device='ZWO CCD ASI294MM Pro' name='UPLOAD_SETTINGS'>
<oneText name='UPLOAD_DIR'>
/astro/collect
</oneText>
<oneText name='UPLOAD_PREFIX'>
Light_LPR_10_secs_XXX
</oneText>
</newTextVector>

The log file indicates the correct expected directory is being used.
"/astro/collect/Light/LPR/Light_LPR"
With "~\astro\collect\Light\LPR" being set as the directory to use
and two systems showing the same problem. Can that blacklash specification be located and avoided. There was some combination of things that started working yesterday but not finding it again today.
