Ability To Rotate Previews 180 Degrees

[dts350z]

to have all previews have the same orientation,before and  after a meridian flip.

Done!  This will be in the next BYE 3.1.3 and BYN 1.0.1.

 

Thanks for the suggestions, it was very easy to implement and it will be very useful for sure.

 

It's a toggle switch.

Not bad!!

 

Interesting change to the PHD button...

Yeah, had to replace the PHD icon for something more generic with the addition of MetaGuide for dithering

Does it remember the rotation state for each preview?

 

The idea being the ability to rapidly click through (called "blink" in some programs) all the subframes for an object, from both sides of the meridian, and have the DSO be oriented the same way.

Yes, it is a sticky toggle button

Ummm... you already have the MASK framing to load an image pre-meridian flip complete with rotation and opacity.

Damn...  I really Liked that PHD icon!!

 

OT:  Does MetaGuide use the same basic API as PHD Server??  Or is there a Toggle/Checkbox on the Settings page??  If the latter, perhaps a "themed icon" showing "PHD" when PHD is selected or "Meta" when MetaGuide is configured...  (Although, i'd guess it rather rare that someone would configure for one Guiding App or the other, and then become confused over which he is about to Connect/Enable...)

Given the "Loading..." delay (while RAW is decoded and EXIF extracted and Histogram calculated), the Mask Tool is probably much faster/better for this type of "Blink Comparison".

The Toggle is "Sticky to an Individual Image" or "Sticky to the Main Image Display regardless of the Image Selected" ??

In either case, I'd guess we can wait until v3.1.3...

It is sticky to the main display page.

No, it does not.  MetaGuide uses Windows messages for inter-process communication.  As long as MetaGuide is running on the same computer the message that BYE/BYN sends will be received by MetaGuide.
