Hi kst list,<br>
<br>
When I move the location of my data file (relative to my Kst file) I
get the following error on attempting to open my Kst file:<br>
<br>
<b>Error opening document 'path/to/kst/file':<br>
Maybe it is a Kst1 file which could not be read by Kst2.</b><br>
<br>
I recently got this error due to a corrupted .kst file, so I went
hunting through my .kst file to find the source of the problem.<br>
<br>
As it turned out, this error was due to a change in the location of
my data file.<br>
<br>
I imagine that this would be a common problem, so I think it should
generate a more useful error, like:<br>
<br>
<b>Error: Cannot find data source
"path/to/data/source/filedatasourcefilename"</b><br>
<br>
An even better solution would be to have a dialogue box that informs
the user that one or more data files are missing. For each missing
data file the user is presented with three options:<br>
<br>
1. Ignore - the kst file still opens but with data missing<br>
2. Browse - opens a dialogue box for the user to browse for the
missing file<br>
3. Cancel - the .kst file is not loaded<br>
<br>
If others think this is ok I will submit it as a feature request.<br>
<br>
Regards, Ben<br>
