So I use SGP on pretty much every clear night, however one simple thing causes me to keep adding targets to the same sequence until the load time is minutes.
That is the Directory path and File name pattern. They don’t seem to be part of a user profile or hardware profile. The only way to propagate them between sequences is copy and paste?
Am I missing something?
I’m not exactly sure what you are asking, but if you go to Tools/Options you can set your default images directory, default profiles directory, and the custom file name pattern you want to use.

In addition, each Equipment Profile can store a file naming pattern.

Exactly the info I was looking for.
Thanks!
I guess the key is to use the equipment profile manger vs. “Save Sequence as profile” to make the file naming pattern sticky across sequences.
and or the Sequence generator options dialog, again vs. “Save Sequence as profile”.
