[IDV #QVD-529091]: IDV - Error in Auto-Projections of Satellite Bundles

Hi Jacob-

Glad to hear it's working again.

If you want the old functionality where it loads the first image of
the time sequence and then downloads the rest, use the Image Sequence Display.
I just reversed the names.

Shade colors should make more of a smooth image rather than showing each
pixel.  It may be that for the satellite imagery, the overhead would be
to great, so the shading doesn't happen.  

The set visible range  allows you to only show certain values within the image. 
 
By default the satellite displays have a range of 0 to 255.  If you click on the
Change button and set the Visible Range to be 125 to 255, you will
remove any values less than 125.

In the (hopefully) not too distant future, I'd like to merge the functionality
of these two different displays together.

We're having problems reproducing this here.  I've had another user
on Linux with the same sporadic problem, but since we can't reliably
recreate it here it's tough to figure out what's going on.  It's something
specific to Linux since you don't have problems on Windows.  But it's not
all Linux boxes.  I haven't given up on this and am still trying to
figure out the best way to track down what's happening.  Thanks for your
patience.
