Re: [Gretl-devel] Bug (?) in hi-freq lag counting of midas

a) I have a quarterly workfile with some (monthly) Midas lists in

in particular the following series (with ID numbers):
4 ld_orders_m3
5 ld_orders_m2
6 ld_orders_m1
7 BIPnom
When I click on one of 4/5/6, everything 4-7 gets selected, where I expect
only 4-6.
That's now fixed in git and snapshots.
b) When I right-click on a Midas group/list and click on "time
series plot" I get one plot. It took me a while to realize that
it's a hi-freq (monthly) plot. Perhaps the x-axis could be
automatically labeled with "months" (=the hi-freq unit) or
something like that.
That's now addressed in git and snapshots: see what you think of the
update.
Thanks for both of these points (and also the one about lag
selection via the GUI). When I was implementing MIDAS support I
concentrated on scripting and (obviously) didn't test the GUI
sufficiently. We're now better off in the latter department.
