Hi Artur!
Many thanks. I understand your suggestions. However, what happens on my side is that when I save the plot as an icon and then save the session, the icons don’t show up the first time I reopen the session. I have to open the session twice to see the icons. On the first open I get the error I mentioned earlier; the variables do appear (but not the icons). On the second open, the icons do appear.
This didn’t happen with earlier versions. I’m not sure whether this is an incompatibility with Windows 10, an issue with the working directory, or whether I’m misunderstanding the error.
Thanks, 
Rosa

Dear colleagues,

I'm experiencing a problem with gretl. When I save a session with icons and then try to reopen it, the icons are missing and I see the message “1 session object(s) could not be rebuilt”. If I open the same session file a second time, the icons appear and everything loads correctly.

How can I resolve this so that the .gretl session opens correctly with the icons on the first attempt?

Environment (for context):
- gretl version: [2025a]
- OS: [Windows 10]
- Where the .gretl file is stored: [local disk or OneDrive]

Steps to reproduce:
1) Save a session with icons.
2) Close gretl.
3) Reopen the .gretl session: icons are missing and the message appears.
4) Open the same session again: icons appear.


Hi,

I just did the following (with latest snapshot though)

1) Open some dataset
2) Create a plot and save as icon
3) store the session
4) re-open the session.

=> The plot icon is still there.

I guess it would be helpful if you tell us what exactly you did.

Thanks,
Artur
