Units of measure field loads a "save as.." dialog

[anonymous]

In the new 1.12.alpha1 OM version, units of measure in parameters dialog are somewhat crazy: in many cases they contain a button "..." which opens a "Save as" dialog, which seems crazy.

Nearly all MSL components have this strange behaviour. A rather rich example is
Modelica.Electrical.Machines.BasicMachines.AsynchronousInductionMachines.AIM_SquirrelCage (General tab)

Moreover: in many cases there is just one possible unit. In these cases, it would be much better to have a fixed value instead of a combo-box.

Seems to be related to #4353 (last point)

The button ... is not unit. It is file selector button representing the loadSelector or saveSelector annotation. See #4303. You can read more about it in the Modelica specification. Used for example in Modelica.Blocks.Table.CombiTable1D.

There was a minor initialization problem because of which it is showing up for almost every parameter. I have fixed this now in 5215a82/OMEdit.

I have also changed it to show a fixed value in case when there is only one unit. 1830335/OMEdit.

It seems the initialization problem is still present...

see attached file, which shows the parameter pop-up of MSL trapezoid.

Andrea, I said the issue is fixed in 5215a82/OMEdit. The commit is made on 2017-06-01. You are using 4922085/OMEdit which is from 2017-05-24.

Please update your OpenModelica and test again.

Hi Adeel,
you are right... excuse me for the wrong comment.

I update every morning my nightly built, I don't know why my version of omedit was not up-to-date...

Thanks a lot,
Andrea
