Telescope as default rather than Filterwheel on startup

[Gordb]

Hi Guylain.  On a future release, is there a possibility of making Telescope as default window rather than Filterwheel on start-up?  For those of us not using a Filterwheel (which I suspect would be the majority as we are mostly using OSC cameras) it would be a convenience.

 

Cheers,

I've just fixed this.  It will be in BYE 3.1.17 and BYN 2.0.10.

The oder now is Camera, Telescope, Focuser, FilterWheel.

I'm going to try an make if configurable; personally I prefer Camera, Focuser, Telescope, FilterWheel  but it looks like most of you prefer Camera, Telescope, Focuser, FilterWheel so that is the new static order until I make it configurable.

Hi Guylain.  Any chance of these being reordered in an upcoming release?  ;-)

I had thought that the same request had been made several months ago, but I could not find it. I second your request!

Hi Rick.  I did bring this up quite a while ago and was hoping to give it a gentle nudge to bring it top of mind.

cheers,

By this you mean have the order of the controls...

Camera - Focuser - Telescope - Filter Wheel

instead of...

Camera - Focuser - Filter Wheel - Telescope

Right?

I don't believe that changing the order of the controls is important, just make the telescope selected device on startup.

Hi Guylain.  Rick is correct.  Having telescope open on start-up as the default with focuser would be much more functional, I believe, than filter wheel.

Okay, I need some hand holding here.

There is no device that 'opens' on start up so I'm not sure what is requested here then if the order is not important.

Hi Guylain.  When BYEOS starts up, to the right of the camera information window is the focuser window.  To the right of the focuser window the Filterwheel window is displayed.  These are the defaults when BYEOS is opened.  The thought is to not have the Filterwheel window displayed on startup but rather the telescope window as the default choice.

The default is the camera center.  all other 3 centers are optional and your screen size with dictate how many of them show up.

At the minimum you have the camera center displayed all the time.

Then, as your screen size allow you will get a second control (focuser), then a third (filterwheel), and on large screen you sill see all 4 (telescope).

That is what I meant by the order.

The buttons you see on the right of this control (top to bottom) *is* tied to the order of these controls.  Hope this makes sense.

The reason you see the filter wheel on startup is probably because your screen width allows you to only see 3 of these 4 controls.  In this case if I change the order it will do what you want, I think.

OK, now I understand your question about the order.

I only ever see one device displayed at a time (due to the amount of screen real estate that I allow for BYE). When I start up BYE, the device that is displayed is the Focuser. I would prefer it to be the Telescope. If that means changing the device order then I am good with it. I would put the filter wheel last.

Thanks

Hi Guylain.  I also now see what you mean.  I agree, the telescope first followed by the focuser and lastly the Filterwheel would be ideal.

Thanks!

I am with Gord and Rick.  Like Rick, I can only see one device and that is the focuser.  Telescope would be preferred and then focuser and filter wheel.

Thanks Guylain!  That’s great news!
