Official StarTools support forum

Thanks, Ivo. Can't wait to try it.

Ivo:

Thanks a lot for considering it.

I often went back to check what parameters I use in previous processing. Many times I process one project on different machine. It will be greatly helpful if the file open/save date & time can also be logged in the log file.

Thanks for the reply. The ST's support is top notch. I have never seen any online forum support with such excellent diligence. Seriously! Sorry to hear your wrist injury and be easy on it.

It seems to me ST has been great in providing similar capability and I was using it before even realized it. :) It also seems to me additional mask capabi...

Ivo: I have never used the FILTER module successfully. I imagine using it to auto mask out features for later HEAL module (but it was not intended for that purpose in the current version). That was the reason why I propose such feature with the addition of size (or even morphology) information for a...
