Oh… I realized my error when I looked at this bug last night. When you wrote, I did a quick check and thought there was some error. There's no error -- you have to create the isosurface from the cube first. In early versions of Avogadro (0.8, for example) the display type would create isosurfaces itself. This lead to all sorts of bad crashes due to race conditions. What I think we need to do going forward, is to have the display types enable/disable themselves depending on the data available. I think many people make this error. So to visualize your cubes (BTW, Avogadro also reads .cube.gz files), open the file, go to the Extensions -> Create Surfaces command, pick the options you want: http://avogadro.openmolecules.net/wiki/Create_Surfaces Then you'll see the isosurfaces!
