[Kst] Path to Kst executable

[Brisset, Nicolas]

Hi Ben,

This bug is Windows-specific and crept in when I changed something for 2.0.7 and forgot to account for Windows differences (you know, / vs \). Sorry...
It's fixed in the current git, of which you find a snapshot at http://kst-plot.github.io/kst-build/ where you get an automatic build after each commit.
Could you please try that and let us know if it's working OK for you?
You can also have a look at the new multi-vector view (View->Vectors) or the filter in the datamanager :-)

Nicolas

Betreff: [Kst] Path to Kst executable

Kst,

I'm having a number of problems with Kst which are possibly related to each other.

Symptom1
-------------
When I try to open a recent kst file from the File menu I get the following error:

Error opening document:
'C:/Program Files (x86)/Kst 2.0.7/C:/kstFile.kst'
File could not be opened for reading.

where C:/kstFile.kst' is the path to the kst file I'm trying to open.

After every unsuccessful attempt to load the file the text in the titlebar appends the path to the Kst executable in front of the file name. So, for example, after three attempts the text in the title bar will look like this:

'C:/Program Files (x86)/Kst 2.0.7/C:/Program Files (x86)/Kst 2.0.7/C:/Program Files (x86)/Kst 2.0.7/C:/kstFile.kst'

I also see the path to the Kst executable added to the kst file name in other places like the Data Wizard and the Change Data File Dialog box.


Symptom 2
--------------
Whenever I try to load/change or generally work with a data file the dialogue box freezes for a long
time (10 - 20 sec).

It's like Kst hangs on every file operation because it can't find the file it's looking for (because
it has the path to the executable added to it) and eventually it gives up.

Environment
----------------
Kst 2.0.7
Windows7 x64

What I've tried
------------------
Uninstalling and reinstalling
Uninstalling 2.0.7 and reinstalling 2.0.6
Registry clean

Nothing has worked.

I haven't always had this problem but I don't know when it crept in.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Regards, Ben
