hedit and hfix problems in 2.14

Petr Skoda wrote on May 09, 2008

I have problem with updating headers in 2.14 using hedit and hfix.
I wanted to update BZERO keyword and everything in hedit says its updated
(of course parameters are set well - I tried many combinations) .
But when looking in header it contains the old value even if the date and time of creation is updated.

The same problem with hfix - I am not able to modify it

Other (added by myself) keywords work well.

Is it a some kind of protection of basic fits headers ?
The same with BSCALE

Thanks

Hi Petr,

Please send me some example commands that demonstrate the problem: I'm able to IMCOPY the dev$pix test image to a FITS file and the add/modify bzero/bscale values that are reflected in an IMSTAT of the modified image. Does the problem affect images where the pixel types are already 'real', can you reproduce the dev$pix test and see a change?

Cheers,
-Mike
