Bug and Feature Tracker Updates

• OE Bug tracker
• OE Feature tracker

Discussion items

• Released 2.1-b11

From last meeting

• Trying to help Paola to get her OBO-Edit behaving like Becky's. Problems with her dictionary. None of her problems appear to be OBO-Edit bugs.
  • Paola got it working. She wrote, "The problem seemed to be with the way the dict files were transmitted/copied over. Emailing, zipping or loading/downloading from web repository did not work, but simply copying the files on a memory stick did the trick."
• Someone asked whether there's a way to see the most recently modified items in the SourceForge bug tracker. There isn't a way to sort by Last Modified, but this query will show you tracker items (bug or feature) that were modified in 2011 and that are still open.
• Ramona would like to be able to move undocked windows behind other windows instead of being in front of everything. (The user guide window can do this.)
  • Unfortunately, this will not be easy to fix, because the undocked window stuff is handled by a third-party package (infonode.docking) and it appears that undocked--aka floating--windows are DEFINED as floating in front of the other components. The user guide window is different because it is created as a new window by a different method (and it can't be docked--it's not a dockable component).

Fixed since last meeting

• explanation component not working
• Marcus: when you use the magnifying glass in the user guide, you get duplicate items, and one of the duplicates is empty and the other has the info.
  • Nomi remembers having fixed this before (others agreed). Amina disabled my fix last year for some reason. I have re-fixed it.
• Chris added a new reasoner.

Currently working on

• Is_a closure broken
  • I believe this is fixed. Waiting for Terry to test it.
• parent/child search/filtered save problems 2.1beta10, 11
• Loading multiple ontologies--PATO, GO, cell etc, Marcus gets message "ID profile mismatch--use profile loaded from the file"? Which ontology file is it referring to? It should say which. (Marcus will post this as a bug.)

Next bugs to work on

• Bad handling of unrecognized relation (text editor et al.)
  • I looked into this some--will not be simple to fix. Has to do with how dangling objects (e.g., unrecognized relations) are handled in different components.
• scroll lock (aka lock view) for global OTE - If I click on terms in the locked OTE, it doesn't show them in the Text Editor or other components, and it should, right?
