Focus module should also at least run once successfully before all of this, but I presume you already done that?

Here are my focus module settings:



The thing is, I tested Hy's latest guide module change in which capture is delayed until RMS < [a user definable value]. I still have that build on my Pi, and THAT build works. It unfailingly will refocus on filter change. So it's not like I am out of business, I have a fully functional Kstars I can use to take pictures. However, I can no longer update it.
When I switch now to ANY other build, either the installed Nightly, or any other recent build I have installed completely independently on my SSD in a separate folder, the refocusing on filter change will no longer work.
All the settings are retained when I switch between builds, so it's not like the focus module filter settings are suddenly deselected. It is just that they are being ignored.
Since nobody else has that problem, I suspect that has something to do with me running that other build, which may have changed SOME file that is used by the installed Nightly as well as any of the independent builds from source.
Question is, which file is that and how can I change it, if that were indeed the problem.
Sorry, grasping for straws here. And I LOVE all the changes Hy has made to Kstars, it is fun testing all of that, so please no one should look at this as criticism, just simple troubleshooting. I can always go back to a backup, not a big deal. But that would beat the purpose.
