[Gretl-devel] some bugs and issues

Hi everyone: I would like to report a few problems or issues: 1)- In the "Restrict based on criterion" window, if I use comma as the decimal sign I get a syntax error. 2)- Why is it that many of the tests are not available when WLS (and heteroscedasticity corrected OLS) is used? I am asking this because I can easily obtain the same results with whighting the model manually, in which case I can also use the White test etc.(and see H0 is rejected). 3)- When I add observations using Data>Add observations, the forecasts window still says "There are no observations available for forecasting out of sample...". (after Cochrane-Orcutt, HL, PW etc.) 4)- When I import a data file with labels, gretl gives the message: "first row label "xxx", last label "zzz" label strings can't be consistent dates" This is not an error message right? Because it sounds like one. I think the "label strings can't be consistent dates" part is unnecessary and confusing. What do you think? 5)- IMO the data menu (along with the variable menu) is really too long. How about considering the following changes to make it look less intimidating: a)- Removing the refresh window item. (I don't know if it is really needed. Besides it doesn't even look like it belongs to the data menu.) b)- Making a default named list called "all variables" and removing the "select all" item. Also, could you provide a means to delete such lists. c)- Having a single entry for compact data and expand data Best regards Talha -- “An expert is a person who has made all the mistakes that can be made in a very narrow field.” - Niels Bohr (1885-1962) --
