how to change a static plugin in to dynamic plugin in Stellarium

Hi

My requirement is to add Telescope Control plugin in startup without using GUI.

Regards

HI,

I'm using Stellarium 0.15.2 in Beaglebone Black (Debian 9) with 5 inch LCD (800 X 480) which doesn't allow resizing the Plugin GUI.

So if I can change the source code in a way such that the Telescope Control plugin activated in startup I can access it with out going to Plugin Configuration GUI.

I tried changing the ~/.stellarium/config.ini file without success

Regards

What you tried change in config.ini file?

I added the "TelescopeControl = true" line to the plugin at startup section

Regards

Yes, this is correct line for config.ini and plugin should be load at startup of planetarium. Please show log.txt from Stellarium.

Hmm... Are you share a full log?

Hi,
Thanks for the help.

I was able to resolve the issue. It seems that there are 2 config.ini files. I was editing the wrong one.

Cheers
