Open jvalan opened 4 years ago

jvalan commented 4 years ago
  1. Import a dataset.
  2. Load up flow renderer.
  3. Import a new dataset.
  4. When asked to "load as new dataset or replace existing", select the existing dataset.
  5. Paint may fail, click past that.
  6. Go to renderers, delete the flow renderer that was created in step 2.
  7. Go to Renderers -> New
  8. When the Select New Renderer box appears, all of the boxes will be greyed out ant you will be unable to select any renderer.

    • OS and version: linux red hat enterprise 7
    • Version: Vapor 3.2.0

Questions:

1) On step 2, are you leaving the flow renderer disabled, or is it being enabled? 2) On step 4, I believe we are to load the new dataset as part of the dataset loaded in step 1. Please correct me if I'm wrong. 3) Are you seeing this with the installer that was shared with you earlier today?

I'm unable to reproduce this right now. Are you using the files you've provided us in the past, or are these different? If different, could you share those too?

For question 1. Flow renderer may have been enabled, but had paint fail, so I am not sure if it was enabled or not. On step 4, I replaced the existing dataset with this new one, sorry for not clarifying that. For question 3, this was done on the previous version. When trying this on the version I received today of 3.2.0.85396a7, I got to step 4, and just got an endless spinning "loading ball", and could not proceed further.

Can you send us a copy of your new dataset? I can't reproduce this with our own.

I used these two.

Flow renderer seems glitchier and more prone to crashes on Linux.
