Observation sink plugins are now possible as of 2.21.0
Hi David I'm using the DMG file downloaded from the AAVSO website (here https://www.aavso.org/vstar), but hosted on github (here https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/releases/download/2.21.3/vstar-mac-2.21.3.dmg ).

Oh, that's interesting. Is this with WebStarted VStar or download from GitHub?
Hi David It looks like the new version of the app is not updating the plist file to the new URL...

Hi David I downloaded and ran VStar 2.21.3, and experienced the same errors with using the Plug-in manager. Kind regards Cameron On Sun, Aug 1, 2021 at 8:51 PM David Benn david_benn@users.sourceforge.net wrote: Thanks Cameron. The Java version looks fine but feel free to move to a higher version if you want to. The move to different servers at AAVSO HQ would mean that anything less than 2.21.3 would not be supported with respect to the plugin manager.

I can't reproduce this error at the moment.
Hi David Thanks for getting back to me. I tried the "Set Defaults" in "Preferences" but the result was still the same - unable to access remote plugin information. I do have a couple of plug-ins already loaded, so it has worked previously, but is no longer working.

Plug-in Manager - Fails to access remote plugin information
Absent .vstar file leads to no window at startup!
See https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/104
e.g. J-K can be useful for determining whether a variable is IR because it will correspond to a red magnitude; this is loosely paraphrased while listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fg8SkdTOwY
Issues Building Release Candidate
Discussed with Cliff. I think we can close this since we can either build from windows or Mac command line or within Eclipse.
Add installation section to user manual
See also https://sourceforge.net/p/vstar/bugs-and-features/389/
See also https://sourceforge.net/p/vstar/bugs-and-features/633/ re: installation docs.
Add to Observation by Series stats plugin?
Scripting API: filter creation
See https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/94
We have Delete All but not Update All.
Add installation section to user manual
Series (dataset) generation plug-in
Possible additional analysis modes
VStar not starting when problem with window dimensions in ini file
See ValflagValidator
Consider multi-scale plots, e.g. for B-V
B-V was implemented in 2.18.0
Plot of difference between Z curves
B-V was implemented in 2.18.0
"Power panning"
R Session plugin
See https://sourceforge.net/p/vstar/bugs-and-features/297
See also https://sourceforge.net/p/vstar/bugs-and-features/296/
Save should add .tsv or .txt etc suffix when saving data files
This was done quite awhile ago.
Still an issue?
Permit directives in simple format
@mpyat2sf's flexible text format supercedes this.
Enter calendar dates (or "now") in star selector
See https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/82
A radio button in the dialog perhaps?
Previous Filters: why does a user created series not appear in Observation list?
Overshadowed by another series? Reproducible?
Plug-ins: HJD
I think we have this covered via the plugin now.
Scripting API: add polyfit
In 2.21.0
Permit loading of data delimited by spaces and handle arbitrary fields
I think w can close this now.
In the last CHOICE data analysis course, I showed that at least a polynomial fit and Fourier model could be added in VeLa, so long as the zero points are the same. What's missing is to be able to create an arbitrary model then apply least squares regression to it to fit the data, by adding coefficients to terms. How to do this for an arbitrary function actually?
WWZ data table create-model button?
No, we removed the button a long time ago.
No, we removed the button a long time ago.
Raw plot phase plot ambiguity
I think the UI for this is clear now.
Implement O-C analysis
See https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/93
Make model equation term precisions consistent (use preferences)
See https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/92
Series generation plug-in
It should be possible to create an observation source plugin that uses VeLa code to take information from the current dataset to yield a new dataset.
Simple Format doesn't work with optional validation flag
Remove ANOVA from Info, require use of ANOVA plug-in
This was done in 2.21.0
Plug-in loader NullPointerException in VStar 2.16.6
I think this has been dealt with. Need to be able to reproduce. If anyone sees this again in future, we can create a new issue in GitHub.
Star selector dialog should permit JD range to be reset
See https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/91
Allow observation list to be saved as AAVSO Upload Format
See https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/90
Was this ever addressed?
Residuals and model means not sorted in phase plot mode
Is this still an issue?
Add support for new valflags to "AAVSO data download" file load
A great deal has changed about AID loading since 2013, with database access replaced by web service load. Closing.
Read and include obstype from AID in ValidObservation
Permit AID band selection
This and much more was added to load from AID dialog in recent versions.
Toolbar buttons and menu items disappear when no obs loaded
Can't reproduce. Probably fixed in intervening period of 8 years.
Name resolver consumption
Relative phases and amplitudes
This was completed a long time ago, as per comments.
En masse datapoint exclusions/inclusions
Now that we can create arbitrarily complex VeLa selection filters in the observation list or create a filter from the currently visible plot domain and range, then select all these and exclude them, or just select the observations of interest via the plot control dialog and select some or all of those (or some combination of all of this) I think we remove this.
Compile with Xlint without warnings
See https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/82
Epoch from VSX always shown as JD in phase plot dialog epoch field
See https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/89
Now being tracked in https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/88
Create an AAVSO exoplanet database plug-in
See https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/87

See https://github.com/AAVSO/VStar/issues/86
