Re: Bug: Must force quit to clear an error message

This situation arose because I make lots of small test models that come and go. It's not so much the scenario of deleting a model directory that I'm pointing out here, as the infinite loop that won't allow me to continue. I'm guessing this might come up in other situations. Giving Vensim DSS full di...

Bug: Must force quit to clear an error message

In Vensim DSS 9.4.0 for Mac, Apple Silicon, open a model. Switch away from Vensim. Delete the model directory. Return to Vensim. It shows an error message, "Could not set current working directory (error 2: No such file or directory)". Clicking OK dismisses the dialog as expected, but then...

Re: Bug Report: SETVAL fails to set constants populated via GET DIRECT CONSTANTS

I verified that the OVERWRITE_GET_CONST command works as described in Vensim 8.0.9 for data read by GET DIRECT CONSTANTS. However, when I tried it in version 8.0.7, I got an error message saying that "SIMULATE>OVERWRITE_GET_CONST" was "unknown". Does that mean that we would need ...

Re: SD Everywhere, getting stuck.

The way I would approach that problem is to run SDEverywhere in a debugger using your particular model and spec files. If you can post them I can take a look. Yes, please use SDEverywhere 0.5.1 henceforth. It's also possible I will fix problems in between releases that you would need to get from the...

Re: SD Everywhere, getting stuck.

I was able to get the original model with subscripts working by fixing a few things in the config files. I agree that the error messages did not help much. I'm using SDEverywhere version 0.5.1, which was just published to npm with a few recent enhancements and fixes. Change the initial view in app.c...

Re: BUG: Vensim Manuals inaccessible in Mac 8.0.3

Confirming this is fixed in Mac Vensim DSS 8.0.4.

On Mac, the help contents open fully expanded. The book icons do not open and close sections with a double-click. This is the way the docs work at https://www.vensim.com/documentation/.

BUG: Vensim Manuals inaccessible in Mac 8.0.3

I installed Mac version 8.0.3 over a prior installation of 8.0.1. When choosing Vensim Manuals from the Help directory, I get the message "Help file /Users/Shared/Vensim/Help/HTML/index.html is missing." I see help files from version 7.3 in the Help directory. It seems the 8.0 help files a...

Re: BUG: Mac Vensim 8 output windows have black text in dark mode

I see now that the font selection in Global Option Settings includes color. That solves the immediate problem. I agree that there need to be separate initialization files for light and dark mode with reasonable color choices. Another option that I see in many other apps is the ability to override th...

BUG: Mac Vensim 8 output windows have black text in dark mode

1. Run Vensim 8 on macOS 10.14 in dark mode. Vensim runs in dark mode.
2. Show an output window that contains text such as Table.
3. The window has black text on a dark gray background.

Black on dark gray is hard to read. White on dark gray would be more readable.
