First af all, I don't really know where to file these bugs, so I apologize if this is not the best way. Additionally, I don't know if they affect all version of qtiplot, since I have only stumbled upon them in 0.9.6.2. They are: 1) I had to upgrade sci-libs/gsl from 1.9 to 1.11 and then re-emerge pygsl-0.9.0 and qtiplot-0.9.6.2 in order to eliminate the pyhton errors appearing in qtiplot's console upon launching. (I use python 2.5.2-r4). 2) Qtiplot's config files are installed in /urs/local/qtiplot. However, if this directory is own by root:root and its permissions are drwxr-xr-x, qtiplot can't create the files qtiplotrc.pyc and qtiUtil.pyc inside it for a regular user at launch time. I had to manually modify the permissions to drwxrwxrwx for qtiplot to work correctly. 3) Unless qtiplot is launched from a terminal inside the /usr/local/qtiplot directory, qtiUtil.py is NOT correctly loaded. You get this error in qtiplot's console: "Failed to import qtiUtil file!". But, if the command "qtiplot" is invoked from within /usr/local/qtiplot, then the file is loaded: "qtiUtil file successfully imported!" And that's pretty much it. These issues don't prevent a user from a basic usage of this program. But if you want to create your own python functions and add them to the 'Set column values' function pop-up menu through qtiUtil.py, for instance, they are of capital importance. Thanks for reading this. Reproducible: Always
It would have been better to file one bug report for each bug.
OK. I'm gonna do that :)
