Hi Joe,

You are correct. Unfortunately DP does not currently provide the ability to select files based on FITS header keywords.
I had a previous request for this capability, and have the feature implementation priority set to low. One reason is
that I'm not clear on how to best implement the feature. If you have time and are interested, please outline how this
would need to be implemented for your purposes. For instance, would it be required for all files to be in the same
directory? Also, for images without darks having the same exposure time, which darks should be selected, or should there
be an error message? Also, if calibration images are not available from the same date, should other calibration images
be used, and what criteria should be used to select those alternate images?

I can't promise an implementation soon, but I'll definitely keep it on the to-do list, and I'll consider any input you
want to offer.
