Copy selected files


Copies selected FITS files from the FITS file source folder to the FITS file stacking folder. Used to quickly isolate files for stacking after selections have been made on the Screen Ruler.


The button is only enabled when the following conditions are met:

  • The FITS file source folder exists
  • The FITS file stacking folder exists
  • The FITS file source folder and FITS file stacking folder are not the same folder
  • There are FITS files listed in the FITS files area


When the Copy selected files button is pressed, the FITS files currently selected in the FITS files area are copied from the FITS file source folder to the FITS file stacking folder. If there are any other files already in the stacking folder a prompt will be displayed similar to: 


Delete x excess files in stacking folder '> Parent folder > Stacking folder' before copying new selection in?


Options are:

  • Yes (All files will be deleted from the stacking folder, then the selected files will be copied in)
  • No (The selected files will be copied into the stacking folder, adding to any existing files)
  • Cancel (Abandon the copy operation)


The currently configured folder names are displayed as a tooltip when the mouse hovers over the Copy selected files button. Only the folder name and parent folder names are shown for compactness, formatted as:


       Copy selected files:

from source folder: > Parent folder name > Source folder name

to stacking folder: > Parent folder name > Stacking folder name
