Request: command line option for indexes path #281

Closed juliotux closed 5 months ago

juliotux commented 1 year ago

A nice to have feature that is still not present in the astrometry.net is a command line option to set the indexes folder directly in solve-field. So, I would like to request this feature, if possible.

Probably you already know about this, but a potential get around is to specify the config file path in the command line, and specify the index folder there. Something like

cp /usr/local/etc/astrometry.cfg tmp.cfg
echo "add_path /your/path/to/data" >> tmp.cfg
solve-field -b tmp.cfg <other options>
rm tmp.cfg

(The script above is not tested. So it might contain errors.)
