I am unable to open FITS files in Siril from the Finder on macOS. When I try to do so I get:
“The document .fits " could not be opened. SiriL cannot open files in the ‘Flexible Image Transport System document’ format”.
Obviously Siril can open these documents and they work find if I open them using hte Open button in Siril. It seems that Siril has registered that it can open these files, but maybe it is not responding correctly to the notification to open them.
Since I haven’t found others complaining about this, maybe this is something specific to my Mac system (I am running the lates macOS). But I can’t imagine what. It would be really nice to be able to double click a file in the file system and have it open in Siril.
I must say, for someone that has mainly used Xcode on Mac, getting all the pieces to build Siril is somewhat daunting. I think I have all the required libraries installed, but I won’t know until it builds properly.
So the README file doesn’t really have much in the way of instructions for building. For building for GNU/Linux it has:
OK, I don’t know what happened, but when I repeated the commands in a different shell, they appeared to work. Of course siril was installed in /usr/local/bin which is great (I guess) for Linux. However, I want to build a macOS app. Can someone give me the steps to do this?
Yes, it is probably necessary to build on Mac. The whole point of this was for me to add the code so the app responds correctly to the notification from the Finder to open a file.
