Ok, I went through my code and discovered that there is a facility to give sane default colors for catalogs. I just didn't bother to implement that for the catalogs...

Hi Jacob,

I'm the guy who overhauled the DSO stuff a while ago.
Looking at your screenrecording, I believe to see what might have been going on.

The objects that remained to the NGC catalog, but you changed the colors of the "User" catalog, as this was the row that was selected in the UI.

It's certainly not good UI design... I'll look into why I didn't put the color config in the canonical place...

Cheers,
Valentin

You can try and see if your issues are resolved now after
rm -r ~/.local/share/knewstuff3/ & rm -r ~/.cache/kstars/
to clean the cache. (or wait a few hours...).

Also, beware of the knewstuff cache

rm -r ~/.local/share/knewstuff3/ & rm -r ~/.cache/kstars/

you should download openngc v7

Images work for me.
Have you tried restarting kstars after installing?
I will see how I can remove the need to restart...

It is a bug in knewstuff.

There is a workaround: invent.kde.org/vboettcher/kstars-catalog...a357b861d3b650f2f5de

You don't get m45 because jasem has not updated the knewstuff on his server yet.
Upon pressing enter you go to m45 because it is being looked up on the internet and added to your user catalog.

Do you consider that a problem?

In general, if you have issues with the catalogs themselves or want a catalog added, you can open an issue under invent.kde.org/vboettcher/kstars-catalogs/-/issues

You can download the newest CI builds of the catalogs from here: protagon.space/catalogs/pages/catalogs.html
and import them through Data->Manage DSO Catalogs->Import Catalog.
