• Automated zoom in does not work for primary standard or the sample
• Home button is buggy

For SEM data.

The problem is that the indices of the elements are not updated.

Temporary fix: use the converter and convert from Oxide Wt% to Element wt% and then from the newly generated Element wt% back to Oxide Wt%.

What should be done:

• Check and correct the input function
• Option 1: Add an indice check in the function for opening a project
• Option 2: Add a check function in the menu for dealing with such complex (and unanticipated) cases

Option 2 sounds better as the element/oxide lists are not going to change in the future.

dwell times for elements are not automatically read from xml-file (AcqMethod.xml)

Example:

• File > Import > Mask File (from project)

The classification in XMapTools 4 beta 2 does not check the selected maps. An error occurs if maps have been eliminated after adding them to the input list.

Several users are currently experiencing some major compatibility issues with the standalone applications of XMapTools 4 beta 2, and 3 dev on Mac probably due to additional security measures implemented in macOS. 

The error occurs after starting the classification, independently of the algorithm selected. The following message is displayed by macOS:

One of the key MATLAB library is no longer running. This problem has been reported to MATLAB and we are waiting for a workaround. Several other Mac users have reported the same issue with other programs (e.g. https://ch.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/1735020-library-not-loaded-rpath-libcudart-10-2-dylib) and we hope to get a solution soon.

At the moment, it is not recommended to use XMapTools standalone on macOS as classification is not possible. Many other functionalities such as the sampling tools are affected by this problem.

Updates will be posted below.

• Binary plot could use a log scale plot option (it is possible when calculating the log of an element for now)

A drift correction module with options similar to XMapTools 3.4 should be implemented.

Calibration of phase with internal standard:

• saving the LOD for each calibrated phase into one subfolder. At the moment it is queuing all into the "others" folder. Maybe a LOD folder can come in handy
• auto contrasting in the calibration module can be useful for selecting areas for the variable value calibration

This issue will be solved in XMapTools 4.3 beta 2.
