I was happy when this list told me about Files --> Function files -->
On server. It contains several things I'd been reading about, but
couldn't find on gretl. I have two small suggestions that are purely
for convenience:
1) I have installed 4 files, but can only find 1 of them on the
menus... And I installed tramolin then found TRAMO downloadable
elsewhere (?)... Not to kick a dead horse, but in the table that is
displayed, a new column that shows menu path where the downloaded file
can be found would be very nice . [At this moment I am looking for the
best way to filter data.. on this list i have already posted about
several problems that zeroes are causing me.]
2) probably too late for this suggestion: Me personally, I would
*never* have looked under the "Files" menu for these. In fact, I
didn't. I did however look under "Tools", which to me would be the
logical place. I wouldn't think: "Mmmm, no ridge regression, should I
look for it under Files?" i would think to look under Tools. But the
first suggestion may be more doable, since the second is a larger
change. Thanks TMN

Of course. It's now fixed in CVS, thanks.

I quite like the idea. In fact, I wouldn't be against introducing the
above change in the upcoming new release, even if it should be any day
now. Allin?

Yes, Tim has a good point here. I'll experiment with this today.

I suppose another option would be a new top-level menu item, directly
on the menu bar, labeled "Downloads". That would be even more
accessible. But YMMV. Thanks TMN

All this is worth discussing, and therefore shouldn't go into / delay
the next release IMHO.

See above, I think we can experiment calmly.

The facility whereby a function package can offer to attach itself to a
menu is a relatively recent thing, and at this point not all packages make
use of it.
You can find all installed packages under /Files/Function files/On local
machine (though we may be about to move that to /Tools as per your
suggestion), and also via the "fx" button on the gretl toolbar.
