Directory not found

Software Siril
1

Im using siril to try and stack my first images I got on the seestar. Ive downloaded the proper script, Ive deleted all the .jpg file so only fit files are left. I choose the directory and the run the seestar script and this is the error that I received.

18:15:56: ############################################
18:15:56: Running command: requires
18:15:56: OK! This script is compatible with this version of Siril.
18:15:56: # Convert Light Frames to .fit files
18:15:56: Running command: cd
18:15:56: ‘lights’ No such file or directory
18:15:56: Error in line 38 (‘cd’): directory not found.
18:15:56: Exiting batch processing.
18:15:56: Setting CWD (Current Working Directory) to ‘C:\lights’
18:15:56: Script execution failed.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

So either you’re not in the right working directory or the name of your directory names are not good.

Not so, I encountered the same problem, where there is clearly a lights folder full of files. I have used siril now for three month and never had a problem, and know how to create the file structure but suddenly I won’t find the lights folder.
do you thnk redownloading siril might fix this or maybe just the the script got corrupted?
thanks

Or, as I said, wrong CWD …
No, a script can’t be corrupted like that.

This is always (99.9%) a user error. And almost always a CWD not well set.

Send a screenshot of the whole app and your file structure. We could say that

Thank you, I will send a screen shot, but not until Monday as I’m away from that computer over the weekend.

Here are the screenshots of my finder structure and the Siril log. I’m not seeing what I have done wrong in terms of directing Siril to the wrong current working directory. It finds and processes the dark, flats and biases but stops at the lights folder.
Thanks to the community for any assistance.

The “lights” folder had an extra space, like this: "lights ". That’s where the error originated. So the first and only response to my post was correct, albeit not specific.
