Plot curves from different files

[anonymous]

When simulating, it is very common to have to compare results from different runs.
This is somewhat made difficult by OMEdit that manages one output file with the same name at a time.
It would be not a bad idea to somehow identify multiple output files with the same name, for instance in a way similar to dymola's, and allowing them to stay loaded simultaneously,
A workaround for this problem is to duplicate a model before running it with different parameters, using a different name.

A second issue is that the plot curves are named only with the name they have inside their file. When comparing curves from duplicated files, therefore, the user is a bit confused since it is not straightforward to understand to which file each curve belongs.

I know that adding the file name to each curve would make the curve names become too long. Therefore my proposal is to display the full name, comprising the file name, only when the mouse hovers on the curve name. In Qt, if the curve name is a label widget this is straightforward.
When the mouse cursor is elsewhere, to display only the names that are displayed now is ok.

It is possible what you want but it really depends on the priority. I might implement it sometime in future depending on the work load.

BTW, there is something called fileNamePrefix and in OMEdit is guess its called output file name where you can set a new result file name.

What about just implementing some way to see, while hovering on a curve name, which file it comes from, in case of plots of curves from different files?
I.e., is it possible to just implement only the last paragraph of this ticket?

[Adeel Asghar]

Yes, that is possible. There is another ticket related to it #2166. Perhaps you can add your comment there and close this ticket.

Multiple file names are now allowed in the Simulation Setup output tab.
The possibility to have an indication of which file a variable belongs to, has been moved to ticket #2166, as recommended.
So, as recommended, I'm going to close this ticket.

Sorting away the closed as invalid, won't fix and duplicate tickets from Future.
