Is there a way to toggle not saving the jpg image of a fit file, I just end up deleting them and I never use them? Is there a way to toggle turning that off?

Thanks,

Jon

Can't wait to try v2.0 on android!

No. Those very small jpg files are used to show previews in ASIAir app. Without them you wouldn't know what the FIT image looks like.

It would be nice if ZWO, gives the users the option to turn ON/OFF JPG files on the next update.
I can't speak for everyone else, but I don't need the jpg files. I can use ASIStudio to see and delete all my FITs files.
Have to delete them manually adds unnecessary task to my workflow.

I agree, the jpegs are a pain to remove, maybe have separate folders for the necessary jpegs and another for the raw files.

    This has been requested on this forum and not been implemented by ZWO for years now.

    If you have mounted ASIAIR as an external Samba drive on macos, pick "Kind" as the Finder sorting mechanism, and you can simply select the FITS to download to other macos folders. I am sure Windows has the same facility.

    ZWO is personel limited, and they are all dragged to work on useless new products like an ASIAIR inside a camera. Don't expect them to include a file sorting filter any time soon, if ever.

      Yes windows file explorer has the sort by type option too. Just be sure to enable view file extensions option under file explorer options settings. You can click on any title at the top of each column such as name, size, type, date, etc. Clicking on the column title more then once swaps the sorting direction.
