[APBeta] 2.3a7 Repairing damaged image database

[Tim Long]

Further to this, the repair never completes and the message comes back each time I start the program.

I have worked around it by simply renaming the Images folder and letting AP create a new one. Since all but 3 of the images are downloads from SDSS (etc) I can just re-download them. I've retained the 'broken' images folder in case it is needed for further analysis.

I think something odd is going on with images. The last few times I ran the program I've received a message along the lines of "Duplicate images detected... delete them?" and I've said "yes" to clean up.

Now today, I get a dialog titled "Repairing damaged image database".

It's been going for about 20 minutes now. I don't have _that_ many images in my database. At most, I have 3 images for each Messier object, so around 300. The rest of the program is still responsive.

Best regards,
Tim Long
