Hello everybody, i have a problem with the last (2.45.03) DB. Graphs don't work as intended, they update only when they're open. Can u fix this? It's very annoying... thank you guys!
-
Once a graph has been opened it should continue to plot data even after it has been closed. It must be a temporary glitch in your case if it doesn't.
So when I start a new sim I immediately open the graphs I'm interested in to get data on that.
-
I know, it did so in the last version. Now they don't work anymore as you say.
-
I tried to close the program and reopen it, they're still not working :(
-
I'm sorry, you're right. Weird. I was sure it worked as before but now when I checked again with a new sim it doesn't. :blink:
-
thanks for checking, graphs are very important to me btw pls can somebody fix this? or else i'll just go back to my older version ;)
-
looking at this now.
-
FYI Testlund: Open graphs are now saved as part of simulation, so you will only need to configure them once.
I was going to argue the pros and cons of not updating the graphs when they where closed. I was also going to explain a manual work around you guys can do, but then it hit me: Why can't I do this automatically? All you need to do is respond to a prompt.
Here, tell me if this works any better:
-
thanks a lot, i'm glad i've helped you guys at fixing this. you're doing a great job!!! :wub:
-
thanks a lot, now it's working! btw i intended to say FINDING this in the last post, not fixing :D
-
Thanks Botsareus.
Along the same line, can you make charts minimizable again?
Thank you.
-
I can, but I don't want the charts to be in the windows task bar. I don't think it make seance to put charts in the windows taskbar because: Lets say you have 10 open, and then you want to work on something else while DB is running, also, let say we are running like 5 copys of DB because we have the hardware to do so, now the windows taskbar becomes un-usable
When you select 'Continue updating data' it does the same thing as 'minimize', it just hides the graph in the button left corner :p
Then to get it back simply click the graph again of the graph menu.
So your options are:
1.) Add minimize but don't show in windows taskbar
2.) Leave as is
3.) Reprogram the graphs to be shown in taskbar as before.
The other reason I really hate choice three is because then I will have no way to figure out if DB should update the graph or not. I REALLY WANT some way to tell DB to stop updating a graph if you would choose to do so, I currently linked the update code to the fact that the window is open which is the simplest way to do it.

It's fine as it is imo.
Happy midsummer! :)
(We celebrate midsummer eve in Sweden today.)
-
Awesome :happy:
-
Just figured out a way to temporary hide graphs when you go to options or attempt to exit the program.
I agree that it was very annoying but I had no good ways of fixing it until now.
