Problems displaying and load-saving workspaces created by Qxy

[Steve Williams]

Workspaces created by a 2D SANS reduction have these problems

• Right clicking on the workspace view and clicking "View Detectors" raises an unhandled exception
• When the workspace is saved as nexus and then load re-loaded: The new workspace doesn't display correctly on 2D plot and ckWorkspacesMatch() against the original returns false.

[Steve Williams]

Time estimate:

• Fix Qxy() 2 hours (including diagnosing the problem, fixing, extending the unit tests)
• Extend NexusSaveProcessed() to deal with the unusual format of workspaces created by Qxy() 4 hours (elarn more about numeric axis and the nexus format and find a solution 1 hour. Implement the solution 2 hours. Write tests and debug 1 hour)
• Extend NexusLoadProcessed() to load the new format and test 2 hours

Total 8 hours

M Gigg: As a general comment this should be mostly focussed on ensuring that Load/Save Nexus processed can deal with workspaces that don't have spectra axes anymore. Qxy is most probably correct it is just other parts of the code that generally expect spectra axes that need to be updated. Please let me know if this is not the case.

Time estimate: I think as a whole 1 day should be sufficient for this.

Consider implementation at the same as working on ticket #1673

[Steve Williams]

(In [8058]) Nexus needs Ws2_32.lib to be included, include it on Visual Studio 64-bit builds re #1616

[Steve Williams]

(In [8074]) The "View Detector Table" command was raising an exception if there is no index-spectra map in the workspace, catch exception it re #1616

[Steve Williams]

Most of the problems here had gone away. The two pieces of functionality listed at the top work now!

[Michael Whitty]

indeed. "view detectors" on workspace without a spectra axis no longer raises an unhandled exception and saving/loading of non spectra axis was dealt with in #1993.
