Too many popups when starting image capture #5

Open

Description

@riversn

Starting an image capture when previous capture was halted (and still ongoing in the background) causes multiple of the same window popups to appear in Nina. We only need one, not 3.

    Significantly worse in 1.0.0.7, new version causes constant repeating popups.

    Might be an issue with the nina sequencer? specifically, when stop and starting image capture during sequencer, it might be trying to restart the image capture a ton while the camera is finishing the previous capture.

    Or it may just be causing 20 popups.

    Actually, I can see that it tried to make 7,000 image captures immediately in a span of ~10 seconds while the previous halted image capture was still finishing.

    How to test it: I made a sequence with one smart exposure with 50,000 30 sec images, stopped the 1st one. while the 1st one is finishing in camera, restart the sequence, and you get the repeated popups and errors until you stop the sequence again.

    Tested on 1.0.0.5 release, Still happening.

    Fixed in #9: if the camera is still finishing a stopped exposure, the next exposure now waits for it instead of failing instantly. Failing instantly is what made the sequence burn through thousands of items and pop an error for each. Stopping during that wait cancels cleanly, and the misleading "Abort requested" popup no longer appears after a failed exposure.
