v2.2.8.1
This release makes image and term loading noticeably more reliable. It fixes the "Loading N/M…" progress bar that could stall on cold loads, and improves how images are handled when a term is aligned to a different template.
Faster, more reliable loading
- The "Loading N/M…" indicator no longer stalls. Previously a cold or failed load could leave the progress bar stuck indefinitely; loads that error or time out now resolve cleanly, so the counter always drains to completion.
- Loading is managed centrally, with up to three items loading in parallel. A slow term keeps loading in the background while its neighbours continue, instead of blocking the whole queue.
- Re-selecting a term that is already loaded now simply re-focuses it, rather than reloading it and inflating the loading counter. This applies however the term was first loaded — slice-viewer click, shift-click, URL, tree or graph.
- Term-Info-only terms open cleanly. Terms with no 3D content now open straight in the Term Info panel without getting stuck in the loader.
- The most recent selection wins. When several terms are requested in quick succession, the latest takes focus and superseded requests resolve quietly in the background.
Multi-template image loading
- No more spurious "aligned to another template" prompt for images that are already aligned to the template you have open.
- Correct geometry across templates. When you add an image aligned to a different template, VFB now selects that template's own geometry so the image displays correctly.
Under the hood
- Development builds now run against the live PDB/OWL/Solr services, catching data-driven regressions earlier.
