Issues Addressed in 4.7

The following issues have been addressed in uScope Navigator v4.7.

Deep Zoom Image Viewer

• Corrected a problem that caused the number of layers and image stack depth to display incorrectly in Scan Info Dialog.
• Corrected an issue that caused the region drop-down to be empty for multi-region/multi-layer scans when only the EDF layer is created.
• Added a warning dialog for exported images that are too large and that fail to save.

Job Information

• When editing the Job details for a scan, the Summary and Comments Fields were not always populated and appeared blank. This has been addressed.
• When editing the Job details, the Comments Field treated the Enter key as though the OK button had been pressed. Now, the Enter key inserts a blank line into the comment text.

Multi-Layer Scanning

• Corrected an issue that caused uScope Navigator to incorrectly report that the WSI already existed (when it did not) at the end of a multi-layer scan.
• Corrected a problem that caused creating Whole Scan Images for multi-region/multi-layers scans to fail.
• Corrected an issue there multi-layer scans incorrectly performed an automatic focus.

Whole Scan Images

• Corrected several issues that caused whole scan images to stitch and render incorrectly. These issues were directly related to the screen resolution and screen scale selected in Windows 10 Display Options.
