Improve installation: All items are disabled in default.param and path is wrong #52

Open han-k59 opened 1 year ago

han-k59 commented 1 year ago

Two problem occur during installation in Debian.

1) Paths are not correct WARNING: configuration_file.txt not found, using internal defaults ----- SExtractor 2.19.5 It would help if the message is clearer. E.g. modify path in default.sex

2) All key are disabled with a # in default.param leading to an other error. Suggest to enable some keys default. Would suggest to remove the # from the following keys (or more):

NUMBER Running object number X_IMAGE_DBL Object position along x (double precision) [pixel] Y_IMAGE_DBL Object position along y (double precision) [pixel]

Hi @han-k59 Not sure about the first proposition; however I fully agree with your 2nd point! This is clearly an oversight on my part. I have now uncommented NUMBER, X_IMAGE, Y_IMAGE, and FLAGS in config/default.param in the develop branch, which will find its way to main and to a release soon. Thanks!
