v14Beta: Issues with MDG profiles
« on: April 12, 2018, 01:55:25 pm »
Something has gone horribly wrong with MDG management in build 1415.

Attempting to load/unload an MDG (even standard ones) in 1415 will cause a crash.

The MDG patterns for the projects we have in 13.5 are no longer visible in the Package creation dialog (Model Wizard). They used to be visible right at the end of the list, but now aren't there at all!

The Toolbox management process also ignores the MDG supplied toolbox configuration profiles - they are no longer visible on the list (More Tools... in 1352).

Because this is missing, we can't work around a caching bug we have found with the toolbox profile itself. We thought this was an exclusively v14 bug, but we have found the issue with 1352 also.
When we changed the profile (for example changing the isCollapsed status of a toolbox section), this would not be reflected in the toolbox. However, we have discovered that it's a caching problem since (under 1352) if we reselect the profile via the "More Tools...", the "Correct" toolbox (as opposed to the "Cached" toolbox) could be made to appear.

Interestingly, exiting EA and reentering DOES NOT show the "correct" toolbox, but the original "cached" toolbox.

Consequently, since we can't reset the profile (since it's not visible on the list) we can't use v14! EAUI rearing its head?

Reported,
Paolo

[Edit: Oh, I forgot...  You also can't add a diagram type that's specified in the profile. The New Diagram dialog doesn't include the list of Profile diagrams.]
