Hi Christian, Thanks for the clarification. In the mean time, I have digged a little further and I think there must definitely be something wrong with my data or my installation. At first I could swear that I saw the slope data was available for graphing, but then when I tried to analyze some other tracks I could not find it any more. I thought it was the update to 1.5.1 that triggered the disappearance, but I tried reverting to 1.5.0 and it did not help.
As far as I know, my GPS device (Mio Cyclo 305) does not save the slope data in the GPX files (I don't see it anywhere in the XML data), so it must have been a slope computed automatically by QMS upon loading of the GPX file. One thing I noticed is that I have an empty field name at the top of the selector list for graph data. When I select this field, I get an empty graph saying "no data or invalid data". Is this normal or maybe this is where the slope data used to be ? Actually, after further experimentation the "slope (directed)" field is available for some track files but not others. I don't understand why because I don't see anything unusual about those track files : they don't seem any different, but the slope is just not showing up for them. As far as I can tell, the timestamps in my tracks are OK. And I am also able to graph the other data without problem. Only the slope is missing. I also tried to close all projects and re-load the GPX files from scratch, but still no slope. I can send or upload sample GPX files if you want to try to reproduce the problem. -Pierre. PS : BTW I was not so "secretly" hoping, because I saw the feature was already on the wish list, and at some point, a few months ago, I even e-mailed this list to ask whether the implementation was actually planned. Back then, Oliver answered that it was rather tricky to have a "clean" implementation due to the various extension formats from several GPS manufacturers, so I wasn't expecting to see it appear before a few more versions.
