Bug and Feature Trackers

Discussion

Fixed or newly added since last meeting

  • Warn about possible stale config files when launching new version
    Warning about perspectives
    Warning about perspectives
    • Whenever you upgrade to a new version of OBO-Edit, there is the risk that out-of-date binary files in your ~/oboedit_config (mostly in oboedit_config/perspectives) will cause bad behavior of various unexpected sorts (for example, sometimes it makes Autocommit in the Text Editor not work). Now a warning message about it pops up the first time you run a new OBO-Edit release (and it offers to rename oboedit_config/perspectives for you.)
      • Harold asked what you lose if you get rid of your perspectives directory--do you, for example, lose load and save profiles? Nomi said no, all you lose is your layout. She will add text to the popup about this.
      • Midori asked where it moves your perspectives directory to. Nomi said it's still in your oboedit_config, now called perspectives_something. She will add a note about this to the popup (but we don't want it to get TOO verbose).
  • Can't delete genus in cross product tab
    • Midori said that this worked for her, but she found examples where an erased differentium returned from the dead. She will send examples to Nomi.
  • 64bit JRE can not be used on windows 7
    • Windows apparently doesn't let you designate a preferred Java version, so the installer can do no better than using the first Java it comes across. The fix is to istribute two Windows installers: 32-bit and 64-bit, and let Windows users choose the appropriate one.

Currently working on

  • Graph Editor makes Text Editor show old version of term
    Graph Editor makes Text Editor show stale version of term
    Graph Editor makes Text Editor show stale version of term
    • This is not a new issue (2.0 has it), but it's going to be more of a problem with a workflow that involves making changes to ontology files both inside OBO-Edit and outside in other applications (e.g., Protege) running at the same time.
    • If you look at a term in the Text Editor, and then reload a changed-on-disk version of the current ontology file (with, for example, a changed term name) and look at the term again by reselecting it 'from the Graph Editor' you see, misleadingly, the OLD version of the term. (The Graph Editor itself correctly shows the new version of the term.) (See image at right.) If you instead select the term from the OTE, the new version shows up.
      • It looks as though the stale term is cached somewhere down in the Piccolo code that the Graph Editor uses. This is not going to be easy to fix.
    • Most people present today said they don't tend to click on the Graph Editor to look at terms in the Text Editor, so this bug probably wouldn't affect them much.
