Re: [Gretl-devel] Reporting two little bugs

Certainly. Thanks for the report.
I compiled GRETL from source for my Linux machine. Having used
it for a while, I noticed [so far] two issues.
1. Graphs are saved as PNG images (I did not try other formats)
_without_ prompting the user on overwrites in case of existing files.
I have now generalized the "overwrite check" that was in place for
some sorts of file-save operations. You're right, that ought to be
consistent.
2. When modifying an OLS model with robust errors selected, the
"Configure" button is inactive.
Let me describe how I reproduce it. I select OLS (Main window -> Model
-> Ordinary Least Squares) with heteroskedastic-robust errors (tick on
"robust standard errors" and see the "Configure" button activated).
Then, if I want to modify the model (Model window -> Edit -> Modify
model) I get back to the "Specity model" dialog box. There I see the
"robust errors" option selected [as expected], but the "Configure"
button is not active. To activate it, I have to un-select "robust
errors" and then select it again.
Thanks for the detailed account. This is now fixed in CVS.
