PETROG
New features
Carbonates - added specific Compound item definitions and ternary schemes for Carbonates.
Enhancements
Display links to additional troubleshooting information in the case that there is a problem connecting to the database.
General improvements to positioning of windows when they appear, to ensure they do not lie behind the image window.
Various improvements relating to the workflow for importing lithostratigraphic information for a particular Country, including support for UTF-8 characters in the data being imported.
Various improvements to the process for importing and working with XRD data.
Utility added to allow an item to be changed when the ID does not have an entry in the dictionary (which can happen if the dictionaries have been edited without due care).
Camera calibration - crosshairs now displayed on-screen, which is useful when checking the orientation of the scale bar.
Textural Data Edit - added RMB option to grid for editing major/minor lengths of selected measurement.
Various improvements to the workflow for collecting quantitative grain coat data for Touchstone.
Cameras
Olympus DP: suppression of error relating to acquisition of the maximum width and height of the live image, when this is called prior to the necessary information having been retrieved from the registry.
Bug fixes
Compositional data: fixes for some cases where observed and/or edited quantities were being included in totals/sums when these were actually missing values; fix for display of "Class level 2" information which was incorrectly displaying "Item level 2" instead.
Collecting images for stitching: messaging relating to what the stage is doing if the Preview option has been used prior to starting to collect images; force the Close button to be enabled after images have successfully been collected, as this was not enabled if the Pause option has been used during collection.
Stitching - fix for issue arising when stitching collected images, due to recent changes for management of the thumbnail image displayed in the overview window when working with imported whole slide images.
Reporting - various fixes relating to locale-based decimal separator.
Ternary diagrams - bug fixes in code used to determine whether the user has clicked near a vertex of the ternary diagram, in order bring up the option to display information about the Compound item being used at that vertex.
Saving images - options relating to crosshairs (e.g. should they be burned on to the image) now apply to textural images as well as those saved during compositional logging.
Compound items - fix for message related to trace items being displayed incorrectly when creating a Compound item.
XRD Comparison - was switching to "by weight" incorrectly when changing sample, now fixed.
