Changes in AutoIntegrate v1.65 are listed below.
Printing a flowchart from the workflow
- Added an option to print a flowchart from the processing workflow. Images in the Files tab and selected options are used to create the workflow.
- Graphical flowchart is printed to the preview window. A text version is printed to the process console and Flowchart.log file.
- Flowchart is always generated during processing. It is saved to the Autosave.json file and printed to the Autointegrate.log file.
- Flowchart uses a partially simulated processing to generate the workflow information.
GraXpert support
- To remove gradients from the image GraXpert can be used instead of AutomaticBackgroundExtractor.
- To use GraXpert it must be installed to the computer and the path to the GraXpert binary must be configured in AutoIntegrate.
User configurable startup image
- Added support for a user configurable startup image.
- Startup image can be configured in the interface section. Startup image can also be disabled there.
Interface changes
- Term ABE is replaced with a term Gradient correction. It is a more generic term and now also GraXpert can be used to remove gradients.
- Stretching choice has been moved from the Processing 1 tab to the Settings tab. Now all commonly used settings should be in the Settings tab.
Other changes
- Added a save button to the preview window. It can be used to save the current image in the preview. Useful for example to save the flowchart.
- At the startup a short description of changes since the previous release is printed to the process console.
- Autosave setup is now enabled by default.
- Added ‘LC’ filter detection for Seestar color files.
