P. L. Lim

OK I updated the proposed team name in the original post. Thanks!

Low but not zero. Only takes one incident for a fire.

Anyway, this issue can be kept open for discussion even if we rather pursue an alternative.

This issue is not urgent anymore due to other events (links below). But some said to keep this open for future discussions. * astropy/astropy.github.com#626 * astropy/astropy.github.com#629

@eteq , is still a problem on your end? I cannot reproduce the error. The image loads fine with jdaviz 4.1.dev (current `main`). 

Yes sorry, I was only trying the ways we officially support, not the exact snippet using *objects*.

I wouldn't call loading model *objects* into Imviz a basic use case. Most users would pass in the filename and be done with it.

> There are many science use cases where the objects are the only available object. It is very not safe to assume a file is even present Can you please...

Checking for *object* at the `load_data` level is problematic because you need to import the object class at app level, which makes the package that holds the class a required...

But still, how does a scientist only has access to an *object* and not the actual file?
