Mantid Workbench Changes#

New Features#

  • Mantid on Linux has moved from Qt5 to Qt6.

  • The sample logs viewer allows copying the selected variable name to clipboard

Bugfixes#

  • The Error Reporter Dialog now does not erase the local contact information of the user after clicking Don't share any information. This information is never shared if the button Don't share any information is clicked.

  • The File ‣ Save Project as… dialog now correctly skips an unmodified EventWorkspace when monitors are loaded and Save Altered Workspaces Only is selected without resulting in mantid crashing.

InstrumentViewer#

New features#

  • In the new Instrument View, added an option to draw the sample position, and labelled the Monitors and Sample checkboxes with a coloured circle to indicate the colour of the drawn items.

  • New Instrument View now allows for both rectangle zoom and scroll wheel zoom.

  • Sped up new Instrument View by creating the component tree lazily, i.e. only when a component in the tree is expanded. This will give a speed-up of a few seconds for large instruments.

  • In the new Instrument View, when drawing the sample position, if there is a sample shape defined, then that shape will be drawn instead of a simple point.

Bugfixes#

  • In the new Instrument View, fixed a bug where certain detector shapes were not drawing correctly, and sped up the drawing of these shapes.

  • In the new Instrument View, fixed a bug when overlaying a peaks workspace with more peaks than the number of detectors in the instrument. This could happen if viewing e.g. the result of ExtractSpectra.

  • In the new Instrument View, fixed a bug with drawing workspaces where some detectors are not assigned to any spectra.

  • In new Instrument View, sped up initial opening and building of the detector mesh

  • New Instrument View now has correct peak lines in lineplot when the units are changed and/or the spectra in the lineplot are summed.

SliceViewer#

New features#

Bugfixes#

  • Fixed an issue of SliceViewer not showing data in non-orthogonal view when L is selected as one of the project axes by setting proper limits for the axes.
