Hi,
I uploaded my photo to the staging area and added the acquisition sessions multiple times after which I press the save button.  No acquisition sessions are saved though… I tried this several times… Seems I can save one session, but when adding two more sessions, it all disappeared. I will try tomorrow again but I think it is a little bug.  Anyone else with the same?

I work on a MacBook.

PS. I do like all the new little features!
PSS. I could not find an Astrobin topic… smile

CS,
Niels.

Hi Niels,

I moved the topic for you to the appropriate section.

Please let me know if you can reproduce reliably, so I can fix it!

Thanks,

Good morning Salvatore,

I tried this morning again, added a session and it worked. Then added another session, all good. Then added additional properties for the session and it fails when I add Focal Length.  I hope this helps to solve the bug. 
It removes the session that has a focal length added. Others are work fine, and other Additional Properties work fine too.  My photo is in the staging area, not sure if that matters for this bug. Let me know if you need more info.

Is this a planetary image?

I can't see any planetary photos in Niels's staging area, but "Video-based" acquisition sessions are the only ones that let you add a focal length in the additional properties of a session, and multiple sessions. Perhaps you meant f-number, @Niels_L? I tried it but it worked for me.

Can you show some screenshots please?

Thanks!

Aj.... I think I got it all mixed up... It is actually F-number! That is why it did not work... 

I added the F-number and now it works.

Sorry for the confusion! But thank you for correcting me!
