hello,

I have a very basic question about vstar....is it possible to save in some way a project that contains all the information, for example loaded light cure, defined series, colors of the graphics set etc etc?

thanks

Hi Carlo

There is currently no way to do this, unfortunately, other than writing a script to reproduce some key steps, although that's not exhaustive yet.

The idea of a persistent session or project in VStar is something I've been thinking about for awhile though.

I (and others) agree it's a good idea.

There is an open issue for this:

  https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/194

Paul York gives an example motivating scenario there.

I've added a link back to this page from there.

David

ps - getting closer to a new release
