Gaia DR3 stars

[diegorodriguezperegrin]

Extremely glad to see Gaia catalogs coming into Stellarium. A great addition. Now, when downloading the new data files from Stellarium (7 of 9), it gets stuck at 31% or so. The drive has plenty of space left (over 50 GB), so no idea why does it keep stuck. May I download separately the files from GitHub and copy paste them into de installation folder in my computer to see where the problem comes from?

Yes, but not in installation directory (see Stellarium User Guide)

Ok, I took a screenshot of my current Installation and User stars/hip_gaia3 directories under WIndows 10, and also downloaded a full Stellarium-master zip from GitHub. Looks like this master is not including stars_7 and above. Where can I dowload the right one?

I took a look at my log file, no clue. So I just went to https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium-data/releases/download/stars-3.0/stars_6_1v0_4.cat, https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium-data/releases/download/stars-3.0/stars_7_1v0_4.cat and https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium-data/releases/download/stars-3.0/stars_8_2v0_3.cat and put them into AppData\Roaming\Stellarium\stars\hip_gaia3. Apparently, it worked. At least, it says so: "Stellarium says all available catalogs have been installed." So, I will assume some glitch somewhere in the download parameters. Let's see if some other users have the same problem. But for me, the workaround worked, and the problem is solved for now. Thanks.

I had no trouble. Just for completeness, is this a Qt5 or Qt6-based build?

Qt6
