JASP should save the plot as SVG file.

Strange. Saving as SVG works fine for me. Maybe ubuntu specific. Or something broken in an older flatpak version. I have: flatpak --version Flatpak 1.15.8

@tomtomme , thanks for checking; that's strange. Maybe it's indeed specific to Ubuntu; I'm running Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.

We have the same app version, but Flatpak is different. And/or maybe, we have different settings within JASP..?

I just tried again and cleared all settings beforehand. SVG export works. I tried saving in home and in a sub-directory. Where do you try to save? I had flatpak apps in the past (like MS teams) that had only access to the Download folder.

tomtomme commented 5 months ago

Also, in the issue you linked, vandenman pointed to the font type. Do you have a non-default font set in JASP?

JoKeyser commented 5 months ago

@tomtomme thanks for checking again.

I'm trying to save to folders outside Downloads, and that works with PNG and other formats, but not with SVG. So the only difference in my behaviour is whether I set the saving option to SVG or PNG, for example. Saving to SVG also does not work when I try to save to my Downloads folder.

I'm not aware that I changed the font type, it's set to Standard: DejaVu Sans and Standard: Fira Code.

Is there a way to reset all settings?

jasp-settings1

tomtomme commented 5 months ago

My "user interface options" looks exactly like yours.

To reset all settings I delete the following folder: /home/tom/.var/app/org.jaspstats.JASP/

You could also try without "use native file dialogs" etc.

And check the content of /home/tom/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/org.jaspstats.JASP

This contains for me:

[Context] devices=all; features=devel; filesystems=home:create;host:create;host-os:create;

JoKeyser commented 5 months ago

Hmmm... ok I also tried all those things, but the problem persists; it's always the same error.

Specifically:

I removed the folder $HOME/.var/app/org.jaspstats.JASP/ to delete all settings.
I tried to enable or disable the setting "use native file dialogs".
I tried to read $HOME/.local/share/flatpak/overrides/ but I don't have an overrides folder there.

JoKeyser commented 5 months ago

In addition, here are JASP log files of me opening JASP, trying to save a figure as SVG, and then closing JASP:

JASP 2024-06-11 17_31_46 Engine 0.log JASP 2024-06-11 17_31_46 Desktop.log

What's surprising to me: No mention of an error in those logs... but the same error showed up in the GUI and in the standard console that I started Flatpak from. (The error message "Error: path must point to a valid file".)

tomtomme commented 5 months ago

Maybe then the missing override file is the culprit. I will try tomorrow what happens if I delete it.

tomtomme commented 5 months ago

That is also not it. Deleted the override file and can still save svgs. Maybe then it is the different-flatpak-version-thing. But as you have all noticed by now, I am clueless and grasping for straws.

@shun2wang any ideas?

JoKeyser commented 5 months ago

@tomtomme thank you for checking so much.

Now I noticed that when I try to update JASP, I get this message, do you see that as well?

flatpak update org.jaspstats.JASP
Looking for updates…

Info: runtime org.kde.Platform branch 6.5 is end-of-life, with reason:
   We strongly recommend moving to the latest stable version of the Platform and SDK
Info: applications using this runtime:
   org.jaspstats.JASP

Nothing to do.

I get the same message when I try to flatpak upgrade org.kde.Platform.

Not sure if I can to resolve this, or is this the case for everyone using flatpak?

PS: @tomtomme , could you remove the tag "waiting for requester"? I keep getting emails that some pipeline failed, probably to delete it automatically?

shun2wang commented 5 months ago

I get the same message when I try to flatpak upgrade org.kde.Platform.

Hi @JoKeyser the message what you see is not related, we will update runtime in the next release. could you share the files so we can look into it? I'ii try to reproduce...

@tomtomme This might not related to flatpak/system because flatpak including a same runtime and env for every Linux based OS.

JoKeyser commented 5 months ago

@shun2wang thanks for the clarification about org.kde.Platform.

@shun2wang , the error is not specific to any file; I can reproduce the error by opening the Sleep:Descriptives example from the Data Library (before trying to save the boxplot figure, JASP prompts me re-run the analysis, since the example was saved with an earlier version).

tomtomme commented 5 months ago

@shun2wang I suspect a flatpak bug, becaues JoKeyer: Flatpak 1.14.4 and me Flatpak 1.15.8

@JoKeyser yes, everybody gets the message about the old runtime. It is a security warning with few implications.

shun2wang commented 4 months ago

I cannot reproduce it on Linux or with flatpak. but it's not related to that.

@vandenman it might be a systemfont registry problem I guess, if I understand right in the logs:

    "resultFont" : "freesans,sans-serif",

according to https://systemfonts.r-lib.org/index.html#system-defaults and the user's settings pic it should returen "ejaVu Sans" ? from https://github.com/jasp-stats/jaspBase/blob/a5ae69e40614045667a3fbafaf337a95e8a40f3c/R/common.R#L180 should JASP register_font for all font or specified?
