Bug ID: 376708
Summary: KStars 2.7.5 (WIN) Plate Solver Command Line Arguments
Error
Product: kstars
Version: unspecified
Platform: MS Windows
OS: MS Windows
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
Reporter: b...@outlook.com
Target Milestone: ---
When customizing the option arguments for the plate solver in KStars/Ekos I
noticed a fair amount of inconsistencies.
With the default values all enabled through the UI button, the options show
this:
--no-verify --no-plots --resort --no-fits2fits --downsample 2 -O -L 0 -H 0 -u
aw -3 287.817 -4 89.9972 -5 30
When I attempt to use Blind Solve via the Load and Slew button, this is what
the ANSVR log shows:

89.9972 -5 30

If I then exit the KStars application entirely, and load it again. This is what
the options section shows:

this will continue to loop looking through indices, eventually stalling out

If I change the options to this:
--no-verify --no-plots --resort --downsample 2 -O -L 1 -H 3 -u dw -3 287.817 -4
89.9972 -5 30
The looping happens again... but the changes I made to the options, do not seem
to have been passed to ANSVR:
scale_args: -u arcminwidth -L 0 -H 0 -3 45 -4 24 -5 0
UPLOAD: /opt/ansvr/run_solver 480 /usr/bin/solve-field -p -O -U none -B none -R
none -M none -N none -C cancel --crpix-center -z 2 -u arcminwidth -L 0 -H 0
-3 45 -4 24 -5 0 stars.fit
If I exit KStars and load it again, I can see that the changes I made to the
options are no longer there:
--no-verify --no-plots --resort --downsample 2 -O -L 0 -H 0 -u dw -3 287.817 -4
89.9972 -5 30
No matter what I do, I cannot seem to get the options to pass just like I want
them to.
If I run Sequence Generator Pro against the ANSVR, using the exact same image,
this is what is passed to ANSVR:
scale_args: -u arcsecperpix -L 6.85596 -H 7.57764
UPLOAD: /opt/ansvr/run_solver 480 /usr/bin/solve-field -p -O -U none -B none -R
none -M none -N none -C cancel --crpix-center -z 2 -u arcsecperpix -L 6.85596
-H 7.57764 stars.fit
Using timeout = 480
exec /usr/bin/solve-field -p -O -U none -B none -R none -M none -N none -C
cancel --crpix-center -z 2 -u arcsecperpix -L 6.85596 -H 7.57764 stars.fit
This completes successfully in 4-5 seconds. If I go back to KStars and change
the options to match what SGP is doing via the options:
-p -O -U none -B none -R none -M none -N none -C cancel --crpix-center -z 2 -u
arcsecperpix -L 6.85596 -H 7.57764
It completely ignores my options, and passes the same thing it did before to
ANSVR:
-p -O -U none -B none -R none -M none -N none -C cancel --crpix-center -z 2
-u arcminwidth -L 0 -H 0 -3 45 -4 24 -5 0 stars.fit
To wrap this up, it seems that the options are not saving/passing to the ANSVR
in the right manner.
