This problem was introduced with revision 621341, the merging of the hierarchy branch. The modified code would override the existing tag name. This is not a problem in most cases, but when the user has specified the -F flag in the command line it can result in a curve that is using non-existent vectors.

Version: 1.4.0 (using KDE 3.5.8) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux The following was sent to the kst list by a user: =================================================== Really simple problem, but can't make it work. Easy to believe that I'm doing something stupid, but if so, I can't figure what it is after several days of poking around and handbook reading and re-reading, so would be grateful for a clue. I notice a comment in an archived e-mail circa Jan 2008 to the effect that "command line processing is broken", but am hoping that's either I'm misreading that, or else command line processing fixed since then. here's the problem: I'm trying to display a two-vector plot of "packets sent/packets received v. time". I create a data file 0.dat: 11 1 1 12 2 1 13 3 2 14 4 4 I run kst: kst -x1 -y2 -y3 0.dat& I see the attached plot0.jpg. I write out a .kst file (making no changes to any of the curve or vector definitions.) I create a data file 2.dat by adding two data points to 0.dat: 11 1 1 12 2 1 13 3 2 14 4 4 15 5 5 16 6 5 I run kst: kst -F 2.dat 0.kst& The window displays with the axes etc, but no curves displayed, as in plot2a.jpg. The Help->Debug Kst->Log window shows the error messages in plot2b.jpg. I've tried various other things, eg displaying 0.dat, going to data mode, then changing vectors 2 & 3 to be "read from end", but I get exactly the same error. Or kst -n -1 -F 2.dat 0.kst& The errors in the log suggest to me that the -F isn't actually resetting the data file, but maybe I'm reading meaning into the messages that isn't correct.
