Message: 'No such file or directory'

Software Siril
1

Since a few weeks I am very happy with Siril.
I use mostly a script with lights, flats and biases (without darks) and everything works fine.
But now after processing biases and flats, suddenly It says: ‘Lights’ no such file or directory. However in my CWD there are 3 folders: lights, biases and flats.
After processing there is another folder in the CWD called ‘Process’
In that folder there are only biases and flats
I made a new Working directory, started again, but nothing helped.
Please, can someone help me ?

Hello, have you modified the script? Where did you take it otherwise? The problem is probably with the script’s content. If you share it we will be able to tell you if it’s correct.

(Making a pdf containing an image of the text that you wanted to share is possibly the worse way to do it, in terms of wasted space and energy.)

I did not modify the script. I looked for a script without darks and I downloaded it.
It worked fine for a few times and Everything was OK.
How can I send this script to you?

I found it at Free Astro

the problem is that the directories are spelled with lowercase, ‘lights’ for example, make sure your directories don’t start with a capital letter.

no, if you have checked siril is configured to run in the directory you have put your files. It finds the biases and flats directories, not the lights

I just made a new folder with lights, flats an biases in it.
In siril I made it working directory and checked if the files are there.
Start siril and processing biases and flats runs smoothly
But when the turn is for lights, it still says: there is no such file or directory.
However it mentions the right working directory
What can I do ?

If he can’t find the directory lights it is because you d’ont follow the needed file structure.
You need to follow these tutorials:

or even better:

I started again, following the tutorial step by step
And it’s very clear: Following the tutorial EXACTLY is very important.
And now, IT works again!
Thanks a lot !!!
