I run gretl 2019d for windows 64bit.
In previous versions the order of opening an (existing) .inp file and a
(existing) .gretl file did not matter.
One could open first a .gretl file, then open a .inp file, choose "No" to the
question "Start a new gretl instance?" and the two would be linked and the
script in the .inp file could draw data from the .gretl file immediately,
without the script in the .inp file containing a command to that effect.
But also, one could start by opening first the .inp file, etc. and things
worked the same way.
Not in the 2019d version though. Here it appears it only works if one opens
first the .inp file and then the .gretl file, but not the other way around.
Thanks to Alecos for providing me with details offlist. This issue is
now fixed in git and snapshots. It was specific to MS Windows, and
also specific to the case where the initial gretl instance had a
session file (*.gretl) loaded.
