It seems to revert to a cached version of the file as it was when I first specified it to the Actor (via the EML File: and Data File: fields in Configure Actor). Kepler has a cache system to speed the process. Did you change the file name when you modify a file? I believe if you only change the file without changing name, Kepler won't reload the new version and will use the cache. So you have to change the file name when you modify the file content. > ii) I wondered about checking the "Check for latest version" checkbox. However doing this generates an error dialog with the message "null Please enter a new value:" I have to uncheck to stop the error. This check box is only for packages in a remote repository, e.g. a Metacat server, it wouldn't work for the local file. We can add this feature for the local files as well. > If I create a new local copy of the metadata and data file after editing is completed, and connect those to the Actor it works (presumably a new local cache is made somewhere). > > Couldn't find similar problems on this list; apologies if I missed something relevant. > > Thanks, > Mike > _______________________________________________ > Kepler-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.nceas.ucsb.edu/kepler/mailman/listinfo/kepler-users |
