Ok, I zipped up the test data file and it seems to have uploaded correctly

We still need to address this to some degree. Perhaps we can put a note on the progress dialog stating that the alignment is being canceled. One of the people in our lab experienced similar confusion with MEGA 3 Beta 4 when canceling a large alignment.

I found the data file uploaded in wrong place. I FTPed it in the correct place.

Gosh, I have spent two whole days to take care of this problem. Now, cancel works immediately in any timings and the dialog box shows the progress very smoothly and never disappears. Yet, if you apply such huge data, the changes in the progress bar are extremely slow. To show that MEGA is alive and the alignment is going in such cases, I have added the MEGA animation on the dialog box.

Hi Steven,

I am writing in response to your question regarding the MEGA5 software. MEGA5 and MEGA6 use the ImageMagick software to export some results visualizations to png files. However, MEGA does not accept any user input that would be passed along to ImageMagick, and the latest security vulnerability regarding ImageMagick is one where malicious input is not handled properly. The newest version of MEGA (MEGA7) does not use ImageMagick at all and I recommend upgrading to this version.
