It's a newish computer, so I watched configure and make extra close - saw no errors or things that looked strange. I used the library manager to load a couple items from some technologies. I used these as a starting place for a new object. I created two new items, saved them with "M", used the pop-ups to place it in a library and include it in a technology. At that point, I did not save the technologies. A few minutes later, I opened the library pages with "shift-L" - and I have a whole bunch of new libraries! There is an empty library named after each of the new objects I made. The object itself is where put it and NOT in the library of matching name. There is also a library named for each number I used when I was changing text sizes, and a library named for each number I used when changing line sizes. Before restarting, I figured I should save the technologies that just got new items. When I choose "File > Save Technology", the filename was not filled in when I picked the technology from the "Save which technology" pop-up. So I entered it manually - but was not confident it would save it in the correct directory. I did this to both technologies that changed. I then looked at the library list (shift-L) and now I have a library named after the two filenames I entered! When saving one of the technologies, I think xcircuit provided the name "\x01". This is now listed as a "source technology file" in the library manager - but I'm not sure where the file really is... I checked the filesystem. The two files that are the technologies I wanted to save were not modified, according to the file-system modified time. When I entered the full path (including the ".lps" extension), then it changed the file. But as there was no way to browse, I used a terminal and used "ls" to get the full path so I could copy/paste into the dialog box. After restarting, I am back to the correct libraries. Possibly unrelated, I notice at some point near the end of the session, my cursor got "stuck" as a text cursor, even though it was working fine editing lines, etc. If there is more you want me to test, or have questions, let me know. -- Philip _______________________________________________ Xcircuit-dev mailing list Xcircuit-dev@opencircuitdesign.com http://www.opencircuitdesign.com/mailman/listinfo/xcircuit-dev
