Bug ID: 452793
Summary: Wish: the ability to edit schedules / sequences while
one is running
Product: kstars
Version: 3.5.8
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: mutla...@ikarustech.com
Reporter: aje.ba...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
When a sequence or a schedule is running, kstars locks out big chunks of the UI
until the sequence or schedule stops. This limits usability. The overall
wishlist item is somewhat broad so I've tried to break it down into discrete
tasks:
1. While a schedule is running, be able to add jobs to the schedule list. If
have a few items in a running schedule but decide halfway through the night
that I'd like to add another target to image when the scheduler can fit it in,
I can't do it without stopping the scheduler, adding the job and restarting the
scheduler. This incurs all the overhead of a restart - slew, refocus, plate
solve, restart guiding - for no good reason. It would be great if I could drop
a new job into the running scheduler.
2. Very similar: be able to edit jobs in a running scheduler. If I decide I
don't want job #2 to require focus because job #1 is already focused and theair
temperature is dead stable, it would be nice to just be able to turn it off
rather than stopping the scheduler, changing the job, restarting and going
through all the overhead.
3. Similar, but for sequences. If I'm running a sequence of 36 x 5 minute subs,
it might happen that I decide I want to extend it to 48 subs. It would be nice
to be able to update the running sequence to extend it rather than having to
stop it, add another set of 12 subs and restart the sequence.
