Research direction
Start from campaign-from-file load and the campaign-properties repository list. Trace where repository retrieval is called on the load path and why an unreachable address blocks until timeout. Move that retrieval off the load path so the campaign opens first and fetch continues in the background. Done when a campaign with a bad repository address opens without a long hang, matching the expected behaviour in the issue.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Describe the Bug
When loading a campaign from file, if the campaign has an inaccessible repository, MapTool is held up waiting for the repository retrieval to time-out. The wait time is long enough to make the user think MT has hung.
To Reproduce
Add a bad address for a repository in the campaign properties.
Open the campaign.
Load time is excessive.
Expected Behaviour
Repository retrieval should be performed in the background when the campaign has been loaded from file.
