Nice. Thanks.

Regarding the widget that isn't anchoring correctly. Not really it just does that, all the time, I've never seen it behave properly.

More concern regarding the focus buttons.

I use them a lot because the focuser on the DSLR camera suffers from slip so consistent increments don't result in consistent movement causing curve calculations to suffer.

It gets close but then I finish up manually.

Thanks for the fix.

Well then this new feature has broken the focuser. Because I can only press the In or Out focus buttons once and then they remained greyed out and I can never change focus again. This is true of manual and autofocus.

In comparison my Remote Indi server is still working on the previous version and is still working correctly! So I will not be updating that!

Also there are control glitches in the now focuser options as exampled next:

In the following screen shots the Outstep multiple does not reposition itself and begins hidden under other controls and the panel needs to be expanded ridiculously in order to see everything correctly.

The EKOS Focus panel has lost all the Tools controls.

Was this meant to happen?

Sorry for not seeing your reply earlier.

The changes you made seem to work well.

When can I expect the changes to be rolled out in the main stream?

Thanks.

By chance I found myself at the same line of code and I made a similar change (I forced it to pass true for updateDir) .

And it appears to now work correctly.

Not sure why git still is seeing the change but doesn't really matter.

Git isn't reporting any further changes to MR!991.

Fuller logs attached :

Having a look through he code and noticed:

bool Focus::focusIn(int ms)
{
    if (ms <= 0)
        ms = focusTicks->value();
    return changeFocus(-ms);
}

bool Focus::focusOut(int ms)
{
    if (ms <= 0)
        ms = focusTicks->value();
    return changeFocus(ms);
}

// Routine to manage focus movements. All moves are now subject to overscan
// + amount indicates a movement out; - amount indictaes a movement in
bool Focus::changeFocus(int amount, bool updateDir)
{

I fetched that branch and rebuilt.

I can confirm the inward focus now works with pressing the manual in focus button.

However the inward focus via the overscan still does not work. So it is still adding instead of subtracting.

Here is the latest log:

Yes the focuser is built into the camera. Yes, that is my belief as well (the focuser only takes relative position commands). That part seems to be fine as the focuser is moving as expected in both directions.

I have managed to build kstars 3.6.7 beta from the github repo. The invent.kde.org git would not allow me access!

Just confirming the 3.6.7 BETA version still has the same issue, but I assume you haven't committed any changes in relation to this issue, yet.

But I am ready for any changes and testing!

I will try setting up a kstars dev environment and see of I can get a build happening.

I found kstars on github. If I have trouble I'll let you know.

Are the indi-device components part of kstars are do I need to build them separately?

Log as requested.

I performed a couple of inward and outward movements. One with overscan and one without.
