Bypass Siril free disk space calculations

I wrote a script in pySiril that allows to delete unnecessary files in the process of stacking images in Siril, but Siri itself does not understand this and checks for free space, not allowing the process to be performed. Is there anyway to force Siril not to check for free space?

No.

But if the files are removed before the check there would be no issues

This is the problem. Siril calculates the size of future files. My script is able to delete files as soon as any conversion is done: light_0001.fit → pp_light_0001.fit (delete light_0001.fit)
This allows to save a lot of space, however, due to Siril’s calculations, still need to have more free space, even if it is not used, since the script will clean everything up.

there’s no way to do that currently, you can always change the code to disable the check

I wish the API could control more someday…

yes, transition from a graphical tool to a multi purpose processing library is not easy, that may come one day
