Hi,

When we use idl_to_picml and then import the generated xme to GME, the attached dialog box pops up. While this doesn't seem to be affecting anything, it is highly annoying. A lot of our users report a bug to us about the tool set. 

What does this pop up mean?

Thanks,
Abdul

By the way, this is for CoSMIC 0.6.6

from Sumant:

It is a harmless popup. It is just indicating that the .mga or .xme you are trying to open was created with a previous version of PICML paradigm. But a newer version of the paradigm is available. So it is simply updating that version info in the model. It is really a GME feature not specific to CoSMIC/PICML.

I agree that it can be little annoying. A suggestion to remove that popup box is to keep on the PICML models up-to-date with the latest paradigm of PICML.

Well, i think when we start from scratch and we use idl_to_picml and import the xme we still get the pop up box.
Comment 5 Abdul Sowayan 2009-09-10 11:11:04 CDT
From Sumant:

That's expected for the same reason as before. While generating the .mga file, idl_to_picml puts in a "default" PICML paradigm id, which is always different from the latest PICML paradigm id. GME detects that and suggests an "upgrade" by popping that dialog box.

Is there a way to have idl_to_picml generate the correct paradigm id?
