SAVE CONFIGURATION

[JAY RESPLER]

Hello.

Whenever I start Stellarium, I always stop the automatic advancement of time, I turn on the Date/Time window F5, and open Satellites Configuration Alt Z.

I thought Configuration F2 would save these items but I don't see how to do this.

Can  Configuration be set to save these?

Thank you.

Hello Jay,

You can't save those settings (but the time window F5 should be open next time you start Stellarium).

About time: what you can do is write a small script "startup.ssc" that stops Stellarium when you start it (I also use this, in order to save on battery power):

//

// Name: Startup Script
// Description: Script which runs automatically at startup
//

core.debug("START UP: stop time")
core.setTimeRate(0)

Another power saving tip: reduce the frame rate (look for 'maximum_fps' in config.ini)

rgds,

I must be doing something wrong. I press F5. Time window opens.

Press F2, Config opens.  Press Save Settings.

Close Stellarium.

Open  Stellarium.

No Date/time window.

I've tried several times.

Any idea what is wrong?

Does this work for others?

Ver 0.21.2

I read the manual and figured how to do scripts. I modified the existing  startup.ssc   and It Works!

Can a script also open F5?

I use a desk top pc so battery power is not an issue for me.

Thank you for the ideas.

Jay

No, the program launches without GUI panels, and there is no scripting API to call them up at launch. Size and position are stored, though.
