With your help I have it working now. I did not quite understand what you meant by deleting configuration files based on a profile. Being a KStars newbie I thought the profile was equivalent to a configuration. Given what you said I looked through all the options in the INDI Control Panel and on the Options tab I found Configuration > Save. Hmmm, is this what Massimo means? Tried that and it worked. Connecting to the camera now no longer casues the INDI Control Panel to fail.

I think what is happening is as you said. When you select 'Connect' in the INDI Control Panel Main tab the code tries to read a configuration file for the device and if it can't find one exits. In my opinion what it should do is save the configuration if no file is found then try the read again. This should not be too much of a problem to implement as when you disconnect the code saves the device configuration.

Many thanks for your help
