Hello Philip,
I think I found a bug. *smiles* I updated via git this afternoon.
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.
I am unable to reproduce that error, so I'm not sure what I may have
done differently. Is that set of events and errors exactly
reproducible for you? If so, can you tell me the sequence of
actions that leads to the generation of the empty library pages?
It sounds like a Tcl command gone wrong---some variable has become
a null string or undefined and this is changing one of the commands
so that it starts generating new libraries. But I can't see where
this is happening, yet.
For the moment, I'm going to ignore the rest of your errors, because
it is not certain whether they stem from the original problem or not.
Plus, I am not able to reproduce those errors, either. I did find
one problem, though, which was that the "Add New Tech" selection in
the technology selector did not work right, although I'm sure it
worked in a test case I ran yesterday. Plus the "Add New Tech"
should be available when making an object for the first time; you
can always type the technology prefix as part of the name, but for
consistency's sake the same method should be used in both places.
Regards,
Tim
