parameter not being saved was a bug in StellarSolver before, but I did fix it yesterday in StellarSolver \
before I sent those messages last night. &nbsp;You might have missed it but I did mention that I fixed it \
with the other stuff I said. &nbsp;So if you were using the older version yes it was not being saved, but \
now it should. &nbsp;It was fixed in this commit.<div><br></div><div><a \

was not being saved previously because we had added the initial keep parameter but then hadn't added it \
to the equals method nor to the options map method used in the file saving. &nbsp;Sorry I did not do this \
before, but I think what happened was that we were experimenting with the parameter, we were debating how \
it could be used, similarly to how we were in the emails yesterday, but we were still thinking about it \
and hadn't yet decided whether to leave it alone or change it, but then we moved on to other things and \
left it unfinished. &nbsp;But I did fix it yesterday after your email flagging this issue Eric and Hy's \
response which reminded me we hadn't finished it.</div><div><br></div><div>All that remains here is to \
add the parameter to the options profile editor in KStars now, which I was waiting to do until we \
discussed whether to keep it as is or change the names. &nbsp;I can add that to KStars next.<br><br><div \
