--- Comment #1 from Rob <rlanca...@gmail.com> --- The .solved and .cancel files are REALLY critical for external astrometry.net. This is not a bug if you are referring to those two file types. The external program astromety.net uses those files to determine that it should shut itself down. (I already use a kill command but that is not enough) If those files are not created and left in place, external astrometry.net will keep running, possibly with multiple processes of astrometry-engine, and will take up lots of cpu time and memory while they continue to try and solve when the image was already solved or aborted. Yes I definitely intended to make stellarsolver delete all the other temporary files that were created both by stellarsolver and other external processes such as astap and astrometry.net, but the solved and cancel files have to stick around. The good news is that they are basically empty files. I also made the latest version of stellarsolver share solved and cancel files when doing a parallel solve so it should make far fewer files now. But I can't delete those files unfortunately. I can't even delete them later on a timer since we have no idea when the astrometry engine will shut down. If you are referring to another type of file, such as a fits file or a config file, then it might have been a bug. I did do some revisions to the temporary file deletion code and related issues in the latest version of stellarsolver, so please check to see if that has been resolved if that is the case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
