PMTeam@ZWO build 603?
I'm asking as there's no changelog for that build on pgyer.

PMTeam@ZWO Are you using the iOS 16 version? iOS 16 does seem to have this issue, and we're also waiting for apple to fix it. Do you encounter similar problems with other landscape apps?

This was the answer to @possi , who had complained about "Tablet users have to turn their tablets."

The aspect ratio of your start screen (the window that has the "Enter Device" button) is what is causing the problem.

Get your graphics designers to design a landscape version of that start screen and the problems will go away.

If you are using Cocoa, NSSize of the NSRect of NSView.frame or NSWindow.frame should have the size.width be longer than size.height.

PMTeam@ZWO The new updated fixed the histogram problem and the asiair crashing randomly, however the slowiness of loading the preview after downloading still exist.

PMTeam@ZWO Yes, my camera is included in the list of compatible models, it has already been tested and works perfectly.
Thank you so much!!!

Still waiting on some kind of descent histogram controls. Just having brightness and contrast isn't even close to enough.

possi even better make a button to remove all these unnecessary start screens (they are three of them...) and go straight in the app. Waste of time.

The original ASIAIR switching was so buggy (leads to app crashes), so you had to relaunch the ASIAIR app. I think they added this upper level app (the one with the "Enter Device") so that the upper level actually quits the ASIAIR app and relaunches it!

The another reason is to fool a naive user into using their social media -- notice that other button in the "Enter Device" screen -- which may actually be part of that Enter Device app. And if I remember, there is yet another button to launch their mount control app.

Their problem is that the Enter Device app sends a portrait window to iOS, and the ASIAIR app sends a landscape window to iOS. They must not use the app themselves, otherwise it would have been obvious.

Good to see others continuing to point out the bad start screen locked into portrait mode when your device is in landscape. @PMTeam@ZWO this is a defect/bug in the way your coded the app & splash screen and it doesn’t comply with Apple standards. It’s not an apple issue, it has nothing to do with iOS16. This issue has been around since the first closed beta of v2.0. Please don’t wait for apple to fix anything, there is nothing wrong with iOS16.

I agree with the others, most users would use a tablet in landscape mode - because your app is a FIXED-LANDSCAPE app, so why would you force-start the splash screen start in portrait?

To support the point it’s a ASIAir bug, when in that splash screen in portrait mode, swipe up to the home screen and you will see the home screen has been flipped to portrait by the ASIAir app, this is bad code telling iOS to flip to portrait and over-ride the sensor that tells the iPad it should be in landscape mode. The same issue exists on iPhones as well. It’s just especially annoying on ipads.

Fixed the Images Histogram auto-stretch calculation problem

Hi, it would be nice if the user can choose between 3 levels of "stretchiness", so please offer beside your standard 100% stretch window also 50% and 25% for very faint nebulosity objects. You can call it "Auto100", "Auto50" and "Auto25" if you want. Auto100 should be the default, not unstretched 0-65535, as it is now.

I agree with the others here, the portrait mode spashscreen is completely unnecessary.

possi I agree with the others here, the portrait mode spashscreen is completely unnecessary.

The initial splash screen (that starscape that you get when launching ASIAIR that is completely unloaded) is actually landscape.

After the landscape splashscreen, you get the portrait "Enter Device" portrait screen, and then get another splash screen (some image of their mount) that is in landscape, and then finally into the ASIAIR app in landscape.

So, from a fresh launch, you get landscape-portait-landscape. With two separate splash screens, neither is even neccessary. Enough to give one vertigo.

If iOS had done this to launch one of the native apps, Apple would be roasted on the internet. On iOS, you tap on the Photo app icon, and you get to the app immediately. No nonsense. ZWO still has much to learn about GUI. Perhaps they never read Tog's (Apple UI designer back in the early 1980s) book:
