Mantid Workbench Changes

New Features

  • Clarified Report Usage Data checkbox on the Workbench About page to explain that usage reporting is required to use the Error Reporter.

  • Exposed ConfigService::remove() to python API.

  • Exposed ConfigService::configureLogging() to python API.

  • Exposed ConfigService::getLogLevel() to python API.

  • Fixed handling of removed properties in ConfigService::saveConfig().

  • All text on the Workbench About screen is now readable when using OSX dark mode.

  • Run and Abort buttons now display tooltips explaining their functionality and shortcut keys. Tooltips are displayed when hovering over the relevant buttons:

  • The Sequential Fit Dialog has a new selection method to ExtendedSelection when adding workspaces.

Bugfixes

  • The standalone Mantid package is now correctly launching on Linux, with special attention to IDAaaS.

  • Code editor no longer crashes when parsing malformed XML code.

  • Right-clicking on a 3D plot to change the colour bar scale no longer triggers the zoom tool.

  • Dragging arbitary text onto a plot now displays a warning indicating that the workspace name is invalid, rather than causing a crash.

  • Creating a script from a workspace’s history, where that history includes algorithms using StoreInADS=False, should now create a functioning script.

  • Editing the y-axis of plots generated in a python script within Workbench no longer causes an error.

  • Editing plot settings no longer reorders the legend entries.

  • Plotting a histogram of live data for frequent updates is now functioning.

  • Plotting data with negative error values no longer causes a crash.

  • Fixed key shortcuts k and l in mantid plots for quickly switching between linear and log scales.

  • Disabled the broken Linear/Log context menu when right clicking on the colour bar of a 3D surface plot. The menu is now only accessible by right clicking inside the plot axes, which is consistent with other types of plotting (colorfill and contour).

  • Cropping a workspace after using the Plot All button no longer causes an error.

  • Plot legends are no longer accidentally picked up by scrolling the mouse wheel.

  • Fixed bug where the TOF converter window was not displaying properly on high resolution screens.

Instrument View

Bugfixes

  • Opening the instrument viewer with old muon data (DEVA) no longer causes a crash.

  • Zooming in on the Instrument View with a 2D projection no longer causes drawing artifacts.

  • Fixed crash in the Instrument View when trying to overlay peaks that do not have a corresponding detector.

  • Fixed crash when selecting multiple ROI banks.

SliceViewer

Bugfixes

  • Changing normalisation with the gist_rainbow colourmap no longer causes an error.

  • A warning will now be displayed if a workspace with unordered spectrum numbers is opened in the Slice Viewer. These workspaces can fail to display correctly and may result in errors.
