Default to the first image when loading a subsequent set of images #5

When loading a 2nd set of images, it should go to image 1, not remain on the current number

jrdurrant commented 6 years ago

Is this for an entirely new set of images, or for adding on to the end of the current set? As it is now, loading subsequent images will add them to the end, but I don't know if this is a likely use case. It might be better to completely reset everything, under the assumption that it will be a new set of images (with a warning to export data first)?

At the moment, opening a new set of images clears the existing set, but any new digitisations are added to the existing table. This is fine, assuming we can add columns that distinguish image sets, as well image no. within sets (see issue #7). If we have to create a new table for every new set there's an additional processing task of merging them later - doable but handy to have the option to avoid, so all good pending #7.

[However your question has made me worry about the risk of accidentally quitting without saving your table - I think this relates to issue #11; I've added an additional thought there]

The problem here is just to do with image display. Say you finish processing one folder on image no. 132 then open another set, the new set currently starts displaying at image no. 132 (or a blank screen if there aren't that many in the set), whereas we want the new set to start displaying from the top to facilitate working through systematically.
