numpy.bool not accepted as bool type in setChecked()

[deuterium33]

Describe the bug
When opening images from an HDF5 file (File/Open HDF5 files...) and visualizing in the image panel, the console shouts:

CRITICAL - Unhandled exception
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\mathi\anaconda3\envs\datalab\Lib\site-packages\plotpy\plot\manager.py", line 459, in update_tools_status
    tool.update_status(plot)
  File "C:\Users\mathi\anaconda3\envs\datalab\Lib\site-packages\plotpy\tools\image.py", line 718, in update_status
    self.action.setChecked(state)
TypeError: setChecked(self, a0: bool): argument 1 has unexpected type 'numpy.bool'

To Reproduce

1. Generate random images in DataLab, from the Create menu for example.
2. Save to an hdf5 file
3. Open the hdf5 file in a clean DataLab workspace
4. Select an image in the image panel
5. See error on the console below (screenshot)

Installation information

• Conda environment, Python 3.11
• DataLab v1.0.1

Thanks for the feedback.

Unfortunately, we were not able to reproduce this issue with the provided instructions, as it is probably related to a specific version of h5py/numpy/Qt.

However, the issue was clearly described here, and we think that BoolItem (the class describing a boolean parameter in guidata's DataSet context) may eventually hold numpy.bool_ values after HDF5 deserialization, which leads to the observed Qt errors. Furthermore, we were able to reproduce this behavior with unit tests in guidata.

So the fix is proposed upstream, in guidata: PlotPyStack/guidata#96.

@deuterium33 : If you're able to confirm that it fixes your issue, please report back here. Thanks!
