.gaul list is not parsed by Tigger

[sihle20]

I was trying to load .gaul list im3-MFS-image.gaul.txt and I got this error:

@sihle20 could you please attach the actual file to the issue, in case it goes missing in your filesystem.

Can't upload .gaul directly, but you can fool it by adding a .txt suffix:

im3-MFS-image.gaul.txt

[o-smirnov]

Hang on, I think this is an .srl file that has been renamed into .gaul? Obligatory Python reference: https://montypython.fandom.com/wiki/Fish_Licence

(Might be my fault -- I didn't commit my omstimelation changes which you need for the new pipeline...)

[sihle20]

I've updated omstimelation on my side and re-ran the source-catalog step but still get the same error from .gaul list.

No I didn't rename .srl into .gaul :)

[o-smirnov]

Can you post the log from your source-catalog step?

Here is the log file:

im3-MFS-image.fits.pybdsf.log

Just a general comment: thresh_pix = 4.0 in a 10k x 10k image will probably result in a lot of false detections.

Okay Noted.
