Minor ICat matters

Blocking: Tester: Russell Taylor

Description

Just a few things I spotted as I was testing ICat that could be improved:

  • Maximising the data window leads it to take up the whole Mantid window and you can't get back to Mantid! It also pops up half off the screen for me. It probably needs a different parent window/widget set.
  • Progress reporting is missing from some algorithms. It might also be useful to have a 'pending' message in the applicable window while a search is going on.
  • The download time given is wrong: when I download a large raw file it reports the time way before it's actually finished downloading.
  • The login password appears in plain text in the algorithm detailed progress window.
  • There's a typo in some place: "insvestigation"
  • Why do we get a table workspace with the instrument names? Could this be put in some hidden data structure instead?
  • It would be nice to be able to download and load in one shot (i.e. click).
  • Some help buttons don't seem to work, e.g. the "Investigation Data" one.
  • Could we integrate things more? E.g. have a login box pop-up automatically if you attempt a search when not logged in.

The ones flagged above aside, the items here have been fixed. N.B. Progress reporting when downloading a file over the internet is very odd (mostly at 100% but also steps back sometimes).
