It seems there's still a little problem with the join dialog. (In the
snapshot downloaded some hours ago.) Apparently I cannot leave empty the
field "using the name...", although AFAICS that should just
automatically use the outer column label for the series's name. (As
suggested by the grey-color text "same as above".)
But when I type in a new name it's looking good I think.
My testing shows that the behavior is different in Linux and Windows. On
Linux with current git it works fine. On Windows with the latest
(yesterday's) snapshot I still get no reaction when the defaults are
left as-is. In the text fields I have to manually delete all the "hint"
entries like "same as above", "same as inner" etc. to make it work.
Perhaps it would be interesting to test on Linux with GTK2, but my
understanding is that you (Allin) are using that all the time anyway?
thanks
