| Summary | 0002731: Loss of original INDI device data/parameters when use IndiStarter > Right-click > Edit Device Name | ||||
| Description | When using Right-click > Edit Device Name in IndiStarter it loses the device parameters of the original device. It does not copy them across to the new name device. For example if I have a CCD Simulator called '533MM simulator on Telescope 01' with sensor size 3008x3008 @ 3.76um, then change its name to '533MM simulator on Telescope 02' using Right-click > Edit Device Name, the sensor size goes back to the default INDI CCD values of 1920 x 1080 @ 5.2um. If the renaming procedure creates a new profile then it needs to copy across all of the device parameters. Also iif the user has created a <devce_name>_config.xml for the old name device in ~/.indi (by using INDI CLient > <device_name> > Options > Save), then it needs to create another copy of the same file but with the new device name.

When you edit the name in Indistarter the only thing it do is to use this name with the -n option in the start command it write to the indiserver FIFO. It is expected it use the driver default if this is a new name with no saved setting. Indistarter never touch files in ~/.indi because this is INDI internal storage I not want to mess with. The best option is to edit the properties after the rename to set everything you need before to save the config with the new name. |
