Downloader Bugs Fixed
Fixed an issue that could prevent download of SAV data from NovaSeq Runs (fix requires that new BaseSpace Sequence Hub features are enabled for account)
Fixed an issue where a file that exceeded available disk space was still allowed do be downloaded
Fixed an issue in the the Mac downloader client where the progress bar for queued downloads appeared to show they had already completed
Known Issues
In rare cases, app launch may create a duplicate set of output files for the same appsession. In the case of FASTQ Generation, this produces an additional FASTQ dataset. BaseSpace Sequence Hub prevents subsequent app launches with the related Biosample in these cases. If this occurs, check the Biosample datasets tab for duplicates, and QC fail one set of duplicates.
In some cases, the Run button in app error messages does not launch the app. The app can be launched manually from the GUI.
Sample IDs with the same name are aggregated to a single Biosample of the same name. Automatic data aggregation enables merging of the same sample run across multiple flow cells for downstream processing, however this may result in inaccurate app results if data from different samples with the same sample ID are aggregated to a biosample in error. To prevent unintended aggregation, use unique sample names across all runs. If BaseSpace Sequence Hub detects aggregation upon launching an app, the biosample is locked and must be reviewed and manually unlocked to allow it to proceed with app launch.
Selecting biosamples from the biosamples list before launching an app will not carry over the selected biosamples in to the app form. Instead, re-select the biosamples on the app launch page.
If you get certain biosample related warning triangles when launching an app from the New mode launch page, the normal behavior of being able to override and launch anyway may not work, preventing launching of the app. If this occurs, switch to Classic mode and launch from the corresponding samples.

Added prompt to switch to the correct workgroup context for the run when opening a run owned by a different workgroup.
