[Scilab-users] Problems getting started with Xcos

[ejg]

Well, there seems to be a Windows connection. However, if it was a path
issue Xcos would simply be unable to locate the file again, instead of
opening it but messing it up.

Subject: Re: Problems getting started with Xcos

 

Having similar problems with xcos on scilab 6.0.0 with windows 7 and 10. 
1/ On saving a model and subsequent reopen, some routes get jumbled like
spagetti. ( workaround fix: highlight the route and optimise with SC "O"
subsequent save and open then works) 

2/ Some text blocks when saved do not reappear on opening, or sometimes
appear top left of window. 

3/ Some models will not reopen after saving, blank window. 

4/Some saved models halt with "invalid index" on simulation, no apparent
reason or explanation. Models were previously working before saving. 

5/Superblocks not functioning when created by converting selected group. 

Tried on fresh install on different computer, this time Windows 7, Same bugs
exhibited. 

The combination and severity of these bugs make xcos unusable, at least in
Windows for me. 

Suspect problem in saving files correctly but cannot pin down further. Could
it be spaces in filenames, long filenames or other Windows/Linux
discrepancies? As far as I can gather Linux users are not having these
problems. 

Models built from scratch without saving appear to work OK, but this is not
a workable solution!
