Re: [Gretl-users] Please test! (was Re: gretl 1.6.4)

Yes, agreed. I've fixed the userdir issue (I think) and added
what Andreas requested (which was quite self-contained and
unlikely to break anything else). Since that involved a few new
strings I've also updated .pot and .po files.
so does that mean the translations should be updated as well? -- I guess so.
Now: please beat on the Windows snapshot and see if it's OK!
Thanks.
I only found trivial issues (so far;-):
1) the installer is 9MB, on the website it says 7MB
2) when I select the new menu item "nonparametric tests", I get the same
error dialog twice ("no suitable data...")
3) when I run a (py4gretl) function script, the session symbol window is
automatically closed -- but this is better than before, because no
spurious matrices appear anymore!
Some days ago I had the unpleasant experience that gretl "ate" some of
my variables, after I had created lags and done other stuff, but I can't
reproduce that anymore. I think an error in a function package also had
an influence. When it happens again, I'll try to track it down.
W.r.t. the discussion about storage locations: actually I'm wondering
about the use of the "current working directory" as it's currently
presented as an option in the preferences. You warned that it may not be
writable; so what's the use case for it anyway? (If it's abolished there
would be one preference pane less.)
Thanks for tackling the windows problems!
