PixInsight 1.8.9-3 Rant: It broke my scripts

Rant continues: now 1.8.9-2 is completely broken.

I'll try to uninstall,delete all folders and reinstall one more time.

I'm extremely upset. 1.8.9-2 was working excellently fine before updating to 1.8.9-3. I thought I was going to spend this rainy night re-editing old data… I'm fixing stuff that wasn't broken.

I must admit, it also broke my Graxpert script also, but I just went in and renamed it to Graxperty.xsgn and it all worked fine again. (Although I did make sure to re download the latest Graxpert and run it first).

All the more reason to not use scripts.  The processes work amazingly well.

Happens every time. I typically wait 1-2 months.

Same… if you have no problem with the existing version, why update right away? Wait until all the bugs are worked out.

It broke my scripts.

GraXpert stopped working. Star Stretch directly killed the app and I lost half an hour of progress.

Rant over. I'm rolling back to 1.8.9-2.

hi


Until the scripts get updated by the author, you can simply delete the corresponding XSGN file that goes with each. (In the PixInsight/src/scripts/Toolbox folder.)
sample -------  Graxpert.xsgm file 
sample2--------CombineImages.xsgm file

I did that. GraXpert continued throwing errors and other scripts would directly make the whole app to crash to my desktop, losing all progress.

Being that the app and its add-ons was extremely stable and reliable before the update, I don't see any reason at all to move away from 1.8.9-2. An error message can be annoying and require some troubleshooting but losing a complete editing session twice due to software crashes is not something I'm willing to continue experiencing.

hi

what is the error , could you unload the error here

if you have this error  *** Error: Signature verification failed for 'CombineImages': Invalid code signature: C:/Program Files/PixInsight/src/scripts/Toolbox/CombineImages.js

just delete  combineimages.xsgm file for now until new update

CS, Brian

Hi @Brian Diaz ,

Thanks for following up. I'm sorry but I won't go back to 1.8.9-3 for the time being. It took me a couple of hours to revert all the damage and the lost edits are gone for good. I'd really prefer to spend my time with PixInsight editing, learning and practicing my skills, not troubleshooting issues I didn't have, to begin with.

Brian Diaz:
you welcome 

it's a pleasure to help

CS, Brian

You are always a great help on many issues. Thanks!

Just to throw in my experience. Moving to 1.8.9.3 broke my instance of the nbcolourmapper script. Reverted back to 1.8.9.2 with no problems...

All my CosmicPhotons scripts and processes are now up and running through the repository system, including nbcolourmapper.

Gaillard Jérôme:
I've got problem with the script "Foraxx Palette Utility". What can I do ? Thank you a lot.

I'm sure Paulyman will be updating his repository in due course. Until then you can download the script from here and install manually. If you are not familiar with manual installation of scripts here is a step by step guide:

Download the directory from Paul's google drive linked above.
Add the ForaxxPalette directory (not just the ForaxxPalette.js file) to your PixInsight/src/scripts directory
In PixInsight go to the Script menu and click on Feature Scripts
Click on the Add button at the bottom left of the dialog
Navigate to the src/scripts folder and click Open
PixInsight should say that it has found an additional script
Click Done
Quit and restart PixInsight
The Foraxx Pallette script should now be in Script>Utilities

Toolbox scripts

Jurgen is working on these and they should be available before long - see this link.

I hope these comments are helpful
CS,

Great. Thank you Mike. BTW - absolutely love the script. Thank you for you and Adam putting this together...

Let me report a different experience. I installed 1.8.9-3 today and then updated all repositories.  Everything has been running fine, including Open Image, Image Solver, NBColorMapper, Statistical Stretch, Star Stretch, GHS, GAME and other scripts.  I sympathize with those who have had a different experience and I have no idea why my result has been more favorable.   I hope everyone's issues resolve quickly.

Best,

Jeff
