Re: [Gretl-users] saving session vs saving data

Allin & Sven, many thanks for your prompt responses and clear explanations. I hope you don't mind another two cents' worth on this. I like the provisional fix -- in fact I was typing a suggestion along those lines when I got the message below. You really do rock, Allin! I like the idea of preserving an 'in-session' version of the data set, but I can also see confusion arising if, say, I end up with two slightly different versions of what I think are the same data (ie, 'my data.gdt' and 'my data' that's saved in 'my session.gretl'). Maybe there could also be a prompt or option to update the .gdt file from within the session? I use gretl primarily for teaching, though increasingly for research. I think the session concept could be very useful for my students, though I agree with Gordon that scripts are the best way to keep track of what's going on. I'd also like to second Talha's request for a way to control the number of digits in regression output.

When you have reopened a saved session, Ctrl-S or "Save data" now saves the dataset "inside" the session. In addition, when you make a change to the dataset in a previously saved session, you no longer see a "*" (unsaved change flag) next to the datafile name, although you should see a "*" next to the session name in the gretl title-bar. That is, changes to the datafile and now in a sense subsumed under changes to the session (in the context of a reopened session only).
