Having trouble entering a tree #550

Closed open-tree-tree-explorer[bot] closed 5 months ago

open-tree-tree-explorer[bot] commented 1 year ago

I am trying to add a tree to a study in newick by pasting in text of the form:

((Murrayona, Paramurrayona) (Petrobiona, Lepidoleucon) (Minchinella, Monoplectroninia, Petrostoma, Plectroninia, Tulearinia));

I also tried it as: ((Murrayona, Paramurrayona), (Petrobiona, Lepidoleucon), (Minchinella, Monoplectroninia, Petrostoma, Plectroninia, Tulearinia));

however I keep on getting an error message that says:

Conversion to NeXML failed. Error message: [Reading in.nex ] Executing Error: Expecting a tree description, but found "�PNG" instead

I am sure I am doing something stupid but just can't figure it out. I am sorry ... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. - BL

Hi Bruce, We need some better error messages. I was able to get it added by copying-and-pasting the second format you tried (with the commas after the close parentheses). My guess is that it switched back to "NEXUS" as the default after the first format failed.
Ideally, it would remember the "Newick" format selection between consecutive calls.
