[kepler-users] Saving a class in Kepler

2013-09-25 Thread Kenneth Jones
In Ptolemy II it is possible to use Vergil to convert a component into a
class, save the class, and use it (instantiate or subclass it) in other
workflows in the future.  The Kepler GUI seems to have the ability to
convert a component to a class and, in the workflow in which you created
the class, create instances or subclasses of it, but I don't see a way to
save the class, so it can be used in other workflows in the future (In
Vergil there is a save submodel only checkbox in the File/Save dialog).
 Can classes be saved and reused in Kepler?  If so, how?

Thanks.

Hi Kenneth --

Sure enough, you are right, it seems that saving a class does not work in
Kepler due to a bug.  Once you have created a class in a workflow, you
should be able to right click on it and select 'Save Archive (KAR)...',
which allows you to save in a kar file of your choice in your 'My
Workflows' directory.  That should then show up in the tree on the left,
but it does not, because the KAR file that was created is not created
properly.  I created a ticket to track resolution of this issue, but I'm
not sure who might be able to pick it up before the next release.  If
anyone wants to dive in, let us know!
