So Far, Can't Open Example schematics is OS X Mojave #921

Open cornellcummings opened 5 years ago

cornellcummings commented 5 years ago

When Trying to Open any example schematic whether double clicking or with the open with menu. the program comes front and center but nothing happens. I was able to get it to load by dragging the schematic file onto the drawing area

FYI once I leave the drawing area by click some where else in the program, That schematic disappears. I didn't notice any files being added when I did this too so

"File > Examples" opens the 'examples' directory in a separate process using your system's file browser. This directory is read only for a regular user (for example, on my Ubuntu 20.04 system, it's '/usr/local/share/qucs/samples'). Schematic files (.sch) open by default in a text editor when double-clicked in a file browser.

Drag-drop opens the schematic file in Qucs, keeping the original file path. Attempting to save the file in Qucs fails due to lack of write permissions, but we can use "File > Save as ..." to save a copy in the current project. I haven't been able to reproduce the disappearing of the schematic on my system, but I'm pretty sure that if you save a copy of the sample schematic in your project, it will not disappear, and you'll be able to simulate it.
