Hi all,
I stumbled probably over some bug when joining a series.
When appending a gdt-dataset, the description of a series gets shipped.
However, when joining a series, this meta-information gets lost.
Confirmed - I guess this oversight happened because first 'join' only worked
with csv files and only later was extended to accept gdt files as well.
I'd hesitate to call this a bug. The "join" command is supposed to be a
fairly general method for structured data import, and as such it has no
provision for metadata import.
OTOH, in the special case when the outer file is gdt, I think this could
be provided quite safely.
