He llo I have an issue on both 1.2.6 and 1.4 beta 1 on windows 11, I don’t have that issue on Mac or Linux version. When I do live stacking, using the Light doirectory that NINA created for the images, SIRIL can’t do live stacking and reports a “not able to create symlink” error. If I create another directory and manually copy the images created by NINA form NIONA’s directory to this new directory, then live stacking works. What can I do ?
Did you enable dev mode on Windows?
Yes, I did

As I said it works when I copy manually the files in a directory, but it displays it can’t create symlinks when the files are created from NINA in the directory created by NINA. I tried to create an alias of the NINA’s folder but I couldn’t select it as home directory for SIRIL.
What’s the path to NINA’s folder where the images are stored? If you set it to a protected directory i.e. \Program Files, that could be the issue.
Can you paste the exact message from the log so that i can check in the code at which line this is triggered?
No, it is on a external SSD
Where can I find the log ? Also, I did a session yesterday where I didn’t try livestack, can I get a log from the former session ?
From a former session no. But to get a log, press F7 to show the Console, there’s a small button to its bottom right to export the log
Ah that may be it. If the write speed to your external drive is too slow, creating a symlink to an incomplete file would probably fail
Also if the external SSD is formatted as a FAT32 filesystem (still common for some external drives) then FAT32 doesn’t support symlinks.
It is formatted exfat
Bur why would it work on Linux on exactly the same computer + disk ? It is a nvme connected on a USB-3 USB-C port.
OK, so I need to wait for a clear night… Difficult to find lately
