LOOKUP_f block - what is the Data->Load menu used for? Doesn't seem to be working

Specific domains Xcos

Hi!

If I select Data->Save in the LOOKUP_f block, then a dialog opens to save the *.xy file. I thought Data->Load allowed to load the saved *.xy file, but no dialog opens. Simply nothing happens. Am I misunderstanding something, or is this a program malfunction?

My system is Win11 and Scilab 2025.0.0.

If it is a program error, can the *.xy file be loaded from the CLI into the LOOKUP_f block? Someone give an example?

Regards!
Robert

Hello @robertpos

This is a known issue: XCOS block "LOOKUP_f": DATA -> LOAD not working (#17406) · Issues · scilab / scilab · GitLab
A fix is under review for Scilab 2025.1.0 (May 2025): Fix #17406 - Data/Load menu no more worked in edit_curv() figure (used in some Xcos blocks as LOOPKUP_f and CURV_f). (!1296) · Merge requests · scilab / scilab · GitLab

Best regards.

Hello,

If you can’t wait the next release (in may), you can download the artifacts or the MR mentioned by Vincent: https://gitlab.com/scilab/scilab/-/jobs/9539736847/artifacts/download?file_type=archive

Hi, thanks for your help.

As far as I can see, the link you provided leads to windows_build_mr:archive, which is the installer. And now I have a question - do I need to uninstall Scilab 2025.0.0 beforehand, or just run the installer and overwrite the existing Scilab version? I would not like to mess something up.

Hello @robertpos

Both versions can be installed at the same time.
