dear all,
after asking to save a plot as EPS file in a personalised directory I got the
following error message:
"C:\Users\pc\AppData\Roaming\gretl\.gretl-8664\graph.1: No such file or
directory". "Copy to clipboard" "display PDF" produce the same
result. Any
hints?
Hi Stefano,
I can replicate that problem (only) if I do the following:
1) Create a plot via the GUI.
2) Save the plot "as an icon".
3) Delete the plot icon, with the plot window still shown.
4) Try to do the things you described.
The flaw here is that step 3 should be illegal, and it's now banned
in git: if you want to delete the plot from your session you must
close its window first. When you save "as icon", the session takes
ownership of the plot file, and actions such as saving as EPS become
conditional on the continued existence of the object represented by
the icon.
If you got this failure via a different route that I failed to
discover, please describe it!
Thanks,
Allin
