Any way to have SIRIL delete the pp_light file when it uses it to create r_pp_light?

Hi,

I stack a lot of lights so I’m always looking for a way to save space. I currently use the OSC processing scripts and versions I’ve modified to work with more than 2048 files (using -fitseq).

I notice that it leaves all of the files it generates in the process folder. I’m sure that’s useful if you want to go back and restart a process, but for me, I would love it to dispose of any file it’s done with. So when it registers a pre-processed light, it could delete it. I’m assuming it doesn’t need it anymore, perhaps that’s a faulty assumption. But if I’m correct, is there any way to effectively get this behavior?

Hello.

This point is explained in the faq:

Thanks that helps… I see they aren’t comfortable deleting files, even those that SIRIL creates.

Indeed.
And temporary files can be of great help.
