Hi,
I think this is a little bug:

indeed--it should be fixed in today's build

thanks for the report,

since the mesh format is changed from previous versions, even if the
change is just the dimension info in $PhysicalNames, I think it would be
better to change the MeshFormat in the .msh file too, to 2.1.
This would help a lot in the parsing of the mesh file for reading into
an external code.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

When I do with versions 2.4.2 and 2.4.3-svn as of today

1. start gmsh, load any .geo file, create mesh
2. File -> Save As..
3. choose Gmsh mesh (*.msh), enter file name, OK
4. choose Version 2.0 ASCII, OK

Then the created .msh file does have the version 2.0 identifier in the
$MeshFormat section but has extra dimension information that should be
a new extension in 2.1 format in the $PhysicalNames section

$MeshFormat
2 0 8
$EndMeshFormat
$PhysicalNames
2
2 1 "Surfaces"
3 2 "Volume"
$EndPhysicalNames

. Furthermore, if I choose Version 2.0 Binary instead, gmsh writes

$MeshFormat
2.1 0 8
$EndMeshFormat
$PhysicalNames
2
2 1 "Surfaces"
3 2 "Volume"
$EndPhysicalNames

which seems valid this time, but contradicts with the "Version 2.0"
menu item description.

I see the behavior not only with the .geo files but with imported mesh
files (at least) in MED format. Is this intended?

Thanks,
Takuya
