[Gwyddion-users] Gwyddion on OSX Yosemite beta-6 via macports fails to load Omicron Scala files

[Maxwell Grady]

I am running OS X.10 yosemite beta version 6 on a macbok pro early 2011
model.


When I load gwyddion the opening logo says gwyddion 2.4 but when I go to
the 'about gwyddion' menu it says gwyddion 2.3.4 released 2013-12-15


I recently found that gwyddion is no longer loading my STM files.
I collect STM data with an Omicron SCALA system. The files are saved in
.par and .tfo


Gwyddion used to open them with no trouble at all. Now when I try to open
the files I get various errors about file size.

Strangely enough the file browser window shows a preview of the files
correctly. When I highlight, for instance, m10003.par, it shows me a
preview of the data and I can see that the data is correct. Then when I try
to open the file it tells em there is an error in the file length. The
format would require x number of bytes the file is only y bytes long.

here are links to the sample file(s) I will include a link to the .par and
the .tf0

Well, it should not say either. According to the release date, the
version should be shown as 2.34 in both cases. The splash screen does
not use any system font rendering functions, it's all just prerendered
digits, so I have no idea how it can be showing a wrong version.

Do you mean you updgraded the OS but kept Gwyddion intact, and this
happened? Do you open the .par file (that's more reliable than the raw
data files)? Do you have the file format set to ‘Automatically
detected’?

Please post what the various errors literally say, including the ‘Loaded
using’ part (it should be possible to select the message and use
copy'n'paste).

I can open your file fine – using the current Gwyddion version in Linux.
Also did a quick memory analyser check but nothing suspicious happens
while loading the file.

This part can be explained easily. The thumbnails were created and
cached when you opened the files. So they are still shown, even though
Gwyddion refuses to load the files now.
