When you delete that folder, make sure to empty the trash afterwards so Observatory can really not find it.

Did it crash now for a folder with new lights or old ones? The crash reports contain many kinds of different activities that are happening during importing. I wonder if the crash happens during decompressing XISF images. What version of PixInsight are you using? Can you check if this is happening with other image formats? What about older XISF images? Did you select a different compression method for XISF files?

I deleted  ~/Library/Containers/com.codeobsession.Observatory and tried to load a folder of Lights.

Still crashes

Thanks, I have now indeed received automatic crash reports that are related to importing. Probably from your machine.

Observatory is sandboxed, so the App Support and plist files you are looking for are in ~/Library/Containers/com.codeobsession.Observatory. Just deleting the application from /Applications and redownloading it does not remove the settings. Finder nowadays shows that as ~/Library/Containers/Observatory, not ~/Library/Containers/com.codeobsession.Observatory as before  ::) .

New wrinkle: Tried to close 2023 and then open 2024, but Observatory said 2023 couldn't be found, did I want to create a duplicate. I said yes and now is not responding.

Force Quit, Reopen. Now there are two albums for every session, M31 subs in NGC 7000 albums, etc. Most dupes contain no images

Timemachine wouldn't restore the 2023 databse  (locked files?). By chance do you have a tool that will rebuild the database/index?

Deleted app, downloaded new copy from App Store. Problem persists.

Couldn't find any App Support or plist files or I would have deleted them too

Share with app developers was off. Crash report attached.

Tried loading just one session, any session. No joy.

Restart didn't help.

Disk Utility ran successfully on the volume where I save previous year's data. Observatory is on internal SSD

Is there an Observatory 1 / Observatory 2 switch somewhere other than Settings?

IOW, it seems you're saying Obs2 can run as if it were Obs1.

If that is correct, how are the modes selected?

I haven't received a full crash report from Apple yet. The only ones I received are for the Quick Look plugin (may be related to the colorful icon issue you have been having). Unless you have disabled the crash report sharing in your Analytics & Improvements System Settings, I should receive it in a few days, which should help me find the underlying cause of the crash.

It sounds like it could be caused by a single November or December image though. It may not be consistent because Observatory 2 imports multiple images simultaneously*.

* Unless it runs in Observatory 1 mode, in which case it imports images sequentially (one CPU core only), which is way slower.

FITS files still have colorful icons, but only the small size. Large icons in lists are all a reasonable representation of the image.

This seems weird, but doesn't hurt anything so let's consider this resolved.

Spent the day trying to populate a new library without success thanks to frequent crashes or hangs.

I successfully loaded my data collected to date into a 2024 library, but when I tried to load my 2023 data in a different library, Observatory crashed when I tried to drop the whole folder (1.25Tb).

I tried loading a dozen or so dates at a time and got through November, but even loading one session at a time the program crashes...but not always. Import doesn't work at all, simply ignored.

(There are 100Gb free on the internal SSD.)

The crash reports indicates Termination Reason: Namespace SIGNAL, Code 6 Abort trap: 6.

I've restarted the program several times, of course, and tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail.
