boxselect command unexpected behaviour

Software Siril
1

Hi,
In Siril-1.0.6, the boxselect command appears to work only once.
For example, open an image & type “boxselect 0 0 100 100”.
The region is selected as expect.

If the command is run a second time (eg to correct a mistake or move the selection), the select box cannot be changed, with error message “A selection is already made, aborting”. It would be good to change the existing selection via this method. It can be changed with the mouse.

Additionally, running the command “boxselect -clear”, as listed on the command page does not work as expected. Instead of clearing the selection, is gives the same error “A selection is already made, aborting” This time it should definitely clear the selection!

The selection can be cleared manually by clicking outside the selection box with the mouse, then boxselect can be used to recreate the selection.

Hello, as the first line of the page states:

This page contains a list of commands available in Siril 1.1. The reference for version 1.0 is available here.

See the help button right of the command line to get the current syntax or look at the correct documentation.

Thank you, I was not aware that the syntax of boxselect had been extended, and my version does not support clear yet. I must have stumbled onto the wrong documentation.
