BinMD gui need to be looked at

Email from Paz

Sometime you want to repeat the same cut on many runs (same position different temperatures/fields). I cannot see the autocomplete features.

Hi,

BinMD will refresh it's inputs every time a new workspace is chosen. This behaviour is slightly different to that for many other algorithm dialogs as it gives better autocomplete for the dimensions. It might be best for me to take a look at how you are using this algorithm dialog in the context of your workflow.

It looks like it is not remembering the cuts you choose on previous occasions (extents yes but axes no).

1-2 days worth of work depending upon the complexity.

refs #8376. Problem fixed.

Although, I'd like to do some more refactoring to neaten things up before hand.

Tester: Use the following python script to setup some input workspaces.

CreateMDWorkspace(Dimensions='2',EventType='MDEvent',Extents='-10,10,-10,10',Names='Q_lab_x,Q_lab_y',Units='A,B',OutputWorkspace='test1')
FakeMDEventData(InputWorkspace='test1',UniformParams='1000',PeakParams='100000,0,0,1')
test2 = SliceMD(InputWorkspace='test1',AxisAligned='0',BasisVector0='X,units,0.888154,0.459545',BasisVector1='Y,units,-0.459545,0.888154',Translation='-4.93562,-2.3918',OutputExtents='0,9.61632,-0.1,0.1',OutputBins='100,1')

1. Start BinMD and select input workspace to be 'test1'
2. Check that. 'Always Calculate Extents' check box should be off by default.
3. Ensure that 'Axis Aligned' is selected and hit the 'Calculate Extents'. This should enter values for the the binning of each dimension.
4. Enter the name for an output workspace and run the algorithm. It should run without issue.
5. Now reopen BinMD and change the input workspace. It should have remembered the inputs from the last execution.
6. Switch the input workspace to 'test2'. The dimension entries should NOT change.
7. Run the algorithm and it SHOULD fail to execute indicating that the dimension information is incorrect for this workspace
8. Now hit 'Calculate Extents' and the dimension information should be recalculated. Now running the algorithm should work as expected.
9. Repeat the steps above for the SliceMD algorithm dialog. The behaviour should be the same.
10. Now check 'Always Calculate Extents' and execute either BinMD or SliceMD. It should execute and create your output workspace.
11. Reopen the algorithm dialog just execute and note that Always Calculate Extents should still be checked.
12. With the dialog still open, change the input workspace and the axis aligned dimension info should automatically update.
