Qimera 1.5.6 Release

Introduction

31 October 2017, We're pleased to present Qimera 1.5.6

The depths from 'Export → Dynamic Surface → Shoal soundings' are now to a precision of 3 decimal places.
Text on the Patch Test Autosolve dialog has been updated to provide more guidance when using the tool.
It is now possible to shift the rendered height of a surface by up to +/- 1000m via the Offset slider. The slider operates to +/- 10m, larger numbers must be entered.
It is now possible to specify up to 100 seconds for 'Include time series data from adjacent line closer than:' in the Processing Settings → Position, Motion, Heading tab.
Documentation is now available in PDF form on the Qimera download page.
When new raw source files are brought in, SVP solutions are no longer checked because this is intended for manually imported SVP. This speeds up the import of lines into large projects.

Geodetics

Improved ability to bring in custom WKT files containing a TOWGS84 specification.
Qimera will now correctly look in both the custom geodetic folder and the default geodetic folder.

Surfaces

Fixed issue that caused surfaces to be re-projected when a project is moved to a PC with a subtly different custom geodetic definition for the project CRS.
The resultant surface from running a surface difference is now placed correctly under the Static Surfaces section of the Project Layers dock. This allows for easy export.

Patch Test Tool

Updated the Patch Test Autosolve dialog to provide guidance for using the tool.
The Patch Test tool was causing a crash when systems that were on had no corresponding points in the QPD (they were off when the QPD was created in QINSy). This has been fixed.

Exporting

Fixed a bug where the first ping of an exported GSF sometimes did not have the correct height corrections applied.

Raw Source Files

Edgetech JSF files that contained beams with negative roll angles were being assigned to the wrong head. This is now fixed.

Miscellaneous

Qimera was crashing when creating a cleaning project from a surface that didn't contain all source files. This has been fixed.
Solved a problem where removal of a line from a project by 'right click → remove' was taking far longer than it should.
Some R2Sonic multispectral data collected in QINSy was causing a crash when trying to filter based on frequency. This has been fixed.
'Accept Inside' now works properly in the Slice Editor for hidden rejected soundings when in 'Normal Select' mode.
Water Column data for Norbit systems were not lining up with bathymetry in the Swath Editor, this has been fixed.
Fixed a problem where absolute depth blocking settings showed different results when run from the Swath Editor vs Processing Settings.
