Bug ID: 394448 Summary: Not able to change data file (ASCII), message: "The file could not be loaded or contains no data." Product: kst Version: 2.0.8 Platform: Compiled Sources OS: MS Windows Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: datasources Assignee: k...@kde.org Reporter: manum...@hotmail.de Target Milestone: --- What I did: 1. Load a small ASCII data file with the data wizard, and create a plot 2. Save to new .kst file and close kst 3. Start kst and open this .kst file again 4. Go to change data file dialog and select a different ASCII file, click ok 5. Go to change data file dialog again, select the ASCII file from step 1. What I expected: The data file from step 1 should be accepted and plotted, because the file is ok and still in its location. What happened: The file is not accepted, the program returns: "The file could not be loaded or contains no data." I downloaded the latest source code and traced the message back to method ChangeFileDialog::apply(), where the message box is created upon !_dataSource->isValid(). The _isValid attribute is false, because it is set to false by call to method reset() in AsciiSource::parseProperties. This method is called when the .kst file is loaded, after creation of the AsciiSource. I removed the call to reset() and the problem dissapeared. I did not create a patch because I'm not sure about side effects. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
