NINA forgets (resets) Imaging tab layout every time I switch to another one (at least 1.10 HF1)

[txo]

When I change layout of the Imaging tam and click to any other tab and return back everything is reset to default setting. Even image zoom is set to default 1:1 (that is ridiculous in itself).

‌

This is the only errorI see in logs tonight

seems like the layout got corrupted. try to delete your avalon.config file inside %localappdata%\nina and try again if it works.

There was no file of such name but I deleted avalondock.config that had 0 length and seemingly that have helped. NINA created a new one that has actual content in it.

I’m not marking this a resolved since it might be an upgrade problem. If you think this was just a fluke feel free to close the issue.

[Stefan B]

can't reproduce it purely with upgrading the application. might just have been a fluke
