Created attachment 126047 [details] Screen dump SUMMARY When using Tools/Data Wizard to read NetCDF files (either .nc or .cdf) only the option of reading them as ASCII files is provided (see attachment). As a result, it is not possible to read in NetCDF files. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Launch KST 2. Select Tools/Data Wizard 3. Select a NetCDF to read OBSERVED RESULT Only ASCII file configuration setting is shown. EXPECTED RESULT netCDF file configuration setting should be shown. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian bullseye/sid 64bit KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.62.0 Qt Version: 5.12.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I suspect this is linked with the fact that NetCDF may use HDF5 as backend in recent versions. If the netcdf library used in the current installation has not been compiled with HDF5 support (which is optional) then you may observe that behavior. I am quite sure that the Windows builds of Kst provided on the website do not contain support for HDF5-based NetCDF files. I don't know about the netcdf package provided by Debian... Some suggestions: - try to open the file with h5view: if it works it could confirm the issue - try to find out with which options the Debian netcdf package has been built - try with a netcdf file not based on HDF5 (eg samples from the NetCDF site) - compile your own netcdf lib with HDF5 support, and then link Kst against it
