[Scilab-users] 2016.06.23 - Worry about the future disappearance of WFILE_f box - Scilab 6.00 branch

[Perrichon]

Hello,

 

I am so disapointed to learn the futre disaspperance of WFILE_f component
for a lot of reasons (Scilab 6.0.0 branch)

 

 


1 - Actually, WRITEC_f doen't replace WFILE_f. It seems impossible to obtain
an ASCII file with the proposed format in that box or I don't know how to do
with informations contain in the help dialog.


This brings a serious problem of upward compatibility. ASCII files from
scilab are analyzed with external softwares, and so need reconsideration of
these software witch is not raisonable if WRITEC_f supports only binairy
format.

 

2 - Replacing WFILE_f by WRITEC_f component asks to re-edit old schemas.
That's not an easy way when branches are numerous.

 

3 - WRITEC_f doesn't record time. Even if a solution is given in the help,
we keep to be aware that all old shemas must ber re-edit. Adding a clock in
not always easy in heavy schemas and probably a waste of time, so same
problem as 2).

 

 

If a vote is still possible and if it is not too late, my opinion would be
to maintain the M WFILE_f component in future releases.

 

So how to record ASII file with this new feature ?

 

Sincenrely

 

Pierre
