<br>
Just started to use kst2.0-b3, but this problem shows up [same on b1,<br>
sorry to be so slow to report]:<br>
<br>
So, for plotting live data from a network file share, we have the new<br>
'Time Interval' feature.<br>
<br>
On my system, it "works", but it's far from ideal.<br>
<br>
What appears to happen:<br>
- the data plots.<br>
- the plot updates.<br>
At lease, the left hand side of the time scale [old data] advances.<br>
But the right hand side [new data] either doesn't update or updates<br>
_very_ slowly. With the result that, the timebase window on screen is<br>
continuously shrinking, and after about 5 updates, the timescale<br>
window on screen is very short and the plot is blank.<br>
<br>
A second issue, this is the "front-to-back" line effect raised here:<br>
<a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249555" target="_blank">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249555</a><br>
<br>
At the time Barth pointed out that the data generator _must_ update<br>
the "reference field" last, and after changing the generator code to<br>
the appropriate sequence, the problem was resolved [at least on KST on<br>
Linux].<br>
<br>
So currently the situation is - plotting live data from a SAMBA share<br>
under KST on Linux, works perfectly, both updates, timescale and<br>
appearance of the plot, but under MS-Windows, it's less than ideal.<br>
It's not the end of the world, because it's possible to force the<br>
screen to update by pressing the Refresh button..<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
<br>
Peter<br>
<br>
ps: b3 : the new "Manager", "Wizard" icons are cool, but the<br>
left-right sequence across the screen doesn't really reflect my<br>
workflow - I'd prefer something like the old order of where "Wizard",<br>
generally the first thing you do, was near the left.<br>
