Will Gretl add a way to interact with Scilab?
by tenghuanbin＠foxmail.com
Since Gretl has already got the Octave support, and Scilab, which has a great econometrics toolbox "Grocer", may be better than Octave in economic practice, will gretl add the Scilab support for users?
Thank a lot!

Repeatable crash on opening csv file
by Fred Engst
Hi Allin,
I found this repeatable crash on opening a csv file that you might want to take a look.
It gives me this dialog box and then regardless of me clicking on yes or no, it crashes.
Thanks,
Fred

Error in accessing DB.NOMICS
by Fred Engst
Hi Allin and others on the gretl team,
I don’t normally use DB.NORMICS, but as I tried to show my students there is this great tool, the following error occurred instead:
Error message from dbn_get_json():
Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates
*** error in function dbnomics_providers, line 4
> err = dbn_get_json("providers", verbose, &json)
When I tried to access the example from the help, such as
ECB/IRS/M.IT.L.L40.CI.0000.EUR.N.Z,
this error shows up after a few seconds:
Error message from dbn_get_json():
Peer certificate cannot be authenticated with given CA certificates
*** error in function dbnomics_get_series, line 6
> ret.error = dbn_get_json(parms, verbose, &json)
I’m using gretl 2022b-git
Build date 2022-05-04, the latest version.
Best,
Fred

Add a "run current line" icon ?
by Ioannis Venetis
Hello to all,
Can we add an icon next to the Run (Ctrl+R) to run current line?
That is, line-by-line run the script (starting from the current cursor
location within a script file) when pressing this "button"?
This is a feature that I would use often - for some consciously unknown to
me reasons :). To be honest I use it a lot in RStudio; there is a button
(Ctrl+Enter) to run current line or selection.
I do not know how easy it would be or if the developers and/or the rest of
the community would agree to such a feature.
Thanks

Gretl crashed in reading text file
by Fred Engst
Hi Allan, and the Gretl team,
I have encountered a few different repeatable crashes in the last few day.
In this email I will only report the crash in reading a text file.
Here is the script that caused the crash:
string path = "path to my directory"
string filename = "TestCrashFile.txt"
string myname = path ~ filename
string fileread = readfile(myname)
strings aFiles = strsplit(fileread,"\n")
#aFiles
loop i=1..nelem(aFiles)
if strlen(aFiles[i])>0
string myname = path ~ strstrip(aFiles[i])
string fileread = readfile(myname)
#...
#...
endif
endloop

Gretl crashed in save as dialog box
by Fred Engst
Hi Artur,
Thanks for the string untidily package! It made my research a lot more efficient.
Hi Allan, and the Gretl team,
I have encountered a few different repeatable crashes in the last few day.
In this email I will only report the latest one.
When I tried to save the gretl data, and in the "save as" dialog box, if I drag a file from the finder to the dialog box window, it crashes.
The reason I do this is to save time in trying to navigate through my file system within the gretl "save as" dialog box, the same way I can open files that way.
Thanks in advance for your hard work.
