Hi Fred!

That's great to hear mate, you're benefitting from it exactly as was intended!

I have literally thousands of FITS images going back to 1997 and a lot of the time, you try and put as much info in the filename as possible so you don't have to jump through hoops when sorting through them.

But there have been several occasions where I forget to change the filename and/or the save-to folder after switching objects. Finding these is now a breeze as you can instantly see when the object name and filename or folder don't match.

Also have a bunch where an early Maxim DL foible created images with one pixel less than full width. And in some occasions where the darks were saved this way too. Now very easy to find and organise.

And.. it works for many FITS images that just won't load in standard FITS viewers like CCDStack. Like any professional images that have more than 2 dimensions, but still have an image in the first two dimensions. I have a bunch of NOAO, STS and even professional radio telescope images like this.

Fully tested so that F4W2 is compatible. If you're into that sort of thing, that is!

Thanks for the feedback mate, it's always good to hear from a happy customer ! Don...I mean Fred...
