It seems Siril cannot access files/images stored in a network drive. When “Home” is pressed, the path to the networked drive is dimmed and cannot be used.
Is there any way to overcome this?
Hello, please give us some details… What operating system, what kind of network drive, what version of Siril?
Did you click on “Other Locations”
The operating system is Windows 11; Siril 1.2.0-beta1; the network drive is a Synology storage of harddisls.
No.
Then you should.
I tried to click on “Other Locations” but still unable to locate the networked drive. Only local drives were shown such as C:\; D:\ etc.
Yes I just loaded SIRIL for first time and cannot access files on my network (Windows 11) for processing. I need this feature to use the software. This is not a on a drive letter, but more like \server\path kind of path.
Go in “other locations”.
You should find what you want. We use gtk3 for open dialogs, gtk3 is based upon glib. Maybe you can ask there for more details.
Yep most programs you can navigate to network, but i don’t see any way to navigate SIRIL to that. You can’t enter \ path nor use the desktop shortcut to the network, neither are recognized by this program.
Had to copy files to local computer from network since could not access network. Resulting stacked image was very poor.
Looks like registration was not performed
Yes i was thinking that would be automatically done when sequencing but let me try this. This program is very hard to use.
Not really. It follows basics of astrophotography.
Then we wrote a lot of tutorials and a documentation.
Yes but you need make this simpler, for beginners to capture the wider audience. Just open files, then it will sequence, register, stack in one step. And help to produce correct output.
I speak for myself, but that’s not my goal. The goal is to have software that works well, not to have a large audience. You may find it complicated, others may not. It all depends on how much you know about astrophotography in fact.
To make it easy, you have scripts: one single click.
Also I cannot installed to another drives not C:\ drive. I want install app to D: or E: drive but it cannot be changed to this.
So when you change your goal to what the user sees and needs then you can make a real impact.
This is a choice made by our Windows dev. If you want to install where you want, you can use the portable binary.
The only impact that counts is the quality of the result. And Siril produces quality images: that’s what counts for me.
