Re: [opendx-users] missing comments in VPE

[Chris Pelkie]

Comments are saved in the .net file which is text. Look there and see if they got saved or if it is that they are not reloaded, either of which is a bug since this feature is known to work on multiple other systems in my experience, including Mac, SGI, and Windows not-Cygwin (VIS Inc CD version which is HIGHLY recommended: get rid of that Cygwin junk, please!).

Dear users,

When I place program comments onto the VPE canvas and type a message, everything seems okay; but, the comments are empty the next time I load the network. (The placeholders are still there, displaying "Type your comment here..." or whatever, but the text I had entered isn't.)

I have been saving my .net files under "cygwin\\home\username\DX_data" -- not the same directory as DX. Could this be the reason?
