I'm running version 2.1, and I have an idea for better progress indicator for Stack Progress dialog. I'd like to have some indication that the process is doing something. The progress bar does freeze for a period minutes to hours. In the best of all possible worlds, There could be an ETA countdown below the progress bar. Or perhaps a percentage indicator of the total frames stacked. I think I really like the ETA the best - even if the ETA changes throughout the process, at least something to show me that work is getting done. Thanks.

I echo the above, I would love to see one other feature: an ETA in the progress bar. If that is too hard to do, then how about statistical summary information at the end. I'd love to see how many frames per hour were processed. I have a laptop with low resources, so understanding at the jump how long I'll be waiting would assist my OCD! Plus I'm performance tuning, and understanding the differences one run to the next is important, the more I can eyeball things the better. Thank you. David

This is a very strange problem. I finally managed to get an image produced with none of the artifacts in it. But I didn't have to update drivers, or change an affinity photo performance settings. I dont know what caused this problem, but if it happens again, I'll open another issue. Thanks. David

I'm a relatively new affinity user. I'm using it to process tiff files from Deep Sky Stacker. Yes, I know that affinity photo has its own astrophotography workflow - I dont trust it yet. I cant trust it to edit tiff files from deep sky stacker yet. Here's the story: When I do my initial stretch of the image, these weird rectangles appear in the image. I thought these were artifacts from deep sky stacker but I can watch them get added to the image after the stretch process, and once I see them in the image, if I ctrl-z, they go away. I am using a laptop with 8GB of ram, and in tel graphics card. For grins, I turned off opencl, and switched to WARP (whatever that is), and things really went to hell. What kinds of troubleshooting information do I need to provide to you so that I can get help with this problem - because my images are basically useless after I do my post processing... 1854126920_OrionDSS16bitstretch3.afphoto
