Re: [TRNSYS-users] notices



David,
  Thanks for reporting these issues.
TRNEDIT:
 - crash when attempting to open  user-made *.trd file directly from file's explorer program (no problem if you open TRNEDIT first then the trd file) : it seems that it's only caused by  "relative references" to external image, data files : if you write full path to files in the trd: no problem.
this appears to be at least in part an MS Windows issue of what path TRNEdit is recieving from the operating system when the file is double clicked. We have fixed the problem. A new version will be available when we release TRNSYS 16.00.0039.
Studio:
 - proforma's reference is not systematically inquired about modifications, in projects (tpf) files made before the modifications: when you open an pre-existing tpf project using a just modified component, it doesn't reveal the changes (i experiment it for the parameter's value configuration, but it might be the case for other points). It's time wasting  for re-configuration when you modify/improve/addFeature a component. +
errors in development-debugging phase of a component.
This is actually not a bug but a designed feature. As soon as you drag the proforma from the Direct Access tool into your project, you have made a copy of the original proforma with information specific to your project. This allows for backwards compatibility if for any reason the proforma changes and you want to run an older project; the proforma appropriate to the project is saved with the project. The simplest method to update a proforma is to select the proforma in your project, and to select the menu item Edit: Replace. You can then navigate to your modified proforma and its changes to the proforma will be inserted into your project.
 - ability to copy parameter values used in others projects file might save a lot of time when building new projects with already used components.
  If you want to use components in several projects, you can copy a model from a project to another using the "Edit\Copy" menu (or right click a model and choose "Copy"). All parameter values will be copied.

Kind regards,
  David
