A missing solved Field of View in Align Module / Load & Slew

A missing solved Field of View in Align Module / Load & Slew was created by Jean-Claude JESIOR

I am simply amazed by the power of the Align Module / Load & Slew feature : it can solve any jpg within seconds !
May I say a wish ? It would be even nicer if the solver gave the field of view of the solution !

Example of a solution of the Andromeda Galaxy picture found on the net :
2022-03-14T09:39:56 Target is within acceptable range. Astrometric solver is successful.
2022-03-14T09:39:56 Target is within  00° 00' 27" degrees of solution coordinates.
2022-03-14T09:39:56 Solution coordinates: RA (00h 44m 38s) DEC ( 41° 21' 06") Telescope Coordinates: RA (00h 44m 39s) DEC ( 41° 21' 24")
2022-03-14T09:39:56 Solver completed after 0.65 seconds.

Very nice but adding a field of view would be even nicer

The solver shows the FOV in the skymap as a rectangle with the dimensions. Is that what you are after?

So the solving in Seconds is the functionality of StellarSolver and I hopefully made it even faster in this version 2.0.  When Stellarsolver solves an image, part of the solution is in fact the field size.  And as was pointed out, it is part of the output from the solver.  I am confused what part is missing Jean-Claude?

Rob, what I would like to be added to the solution is an explicit field of view like `Field size: 1.92052 x 1.08107 degrees` mentioned above by Chris.
But even without the field size the solver is already a piece of cake.
