Thanks for the GitHub link, I will check it out. I did install the latest Java on my Mac but the result is the same - I still cannot see any subdirectories deeper than the first level under my home directory. I think the default option is whichever directory was last opened in the dialog - though maybe the first time you use it, it is ~/Desktop.

Thank you, but this is definitely not the issue. In fact, the dialog does not even show subdirectories of the outermost subdirectories of a user's home directory, so it is not even possible to save it anywhere else. In other words, the only directories under my account that are accessible through the dialog are of the form ~/<directory>. For example, under my account there is a subdirectory called Documents, which contains umpteen subdirectories, including the one where I would like to save my .hsol...

The File -> Open Puzzle File menu option is useless because saved .hsol files cannot be seen in the File Picker dialog. Hodoku version: 2.2.0 Java version: 1.0 MacOS version: Ventura 13.1 Does a workaround exist?

Thanks. He had the FOV set to 1 degree (I'm not sure why), but the actual height of these images is about 3.6 degrees, so it was pretty far off.

The problem seems to have been with his field of view setting. Once he changed that to "auto", his ASTAP was able to solve all of the images. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Han. The problem can't be poor images since the Mac version solves them without difficulty. I will send him your screenshot and instructions. Should he also check the box marked with the yellow rectangle? I will also meet with him tonight and see if there is something in his setup that is different from mine. I know that he already reinstalled the program and databases. Liz

My student reports that he adjusted the parameters for the search to match those in the screenshot, but his ASTAP is still reporting no solution found for any of the plates.
