#1936 .plt file stopped launching - flickers and goes away
ver 5.0 patch level 6 - last modified 2017-03-18
gp506-win32-mingw.exe
I have several .plt files , could could click on them and launch , none work now.
It was working , then stopped , Windows 10.
Uninstalled gnuplot , reinstalled - no help
I get different error msgs, For different reasons. I can manually 'open' the .plt file and it graphs fine.
But 'clickydoodle' to launch does not work - well it launches , then dissapears . . . .
Got a screen shot after many tries. See attached.

Please show an example of plt file.
If your script doed not end by like "pause -1", bevaviors that you reported are not bugs and expecte behaviors.

Perhaps .plt files are associated to wgnuplot or gnuplot. In the case, scriplt files (.plt files) are executed in batch mode and not suitable for interactive terminal like windows terminal in your x.plt and in x2.plt.
Batch mode is intented to use output a plot to a file like:
Double clicking foo.plt silently produces foo.png.
If you want manupurate plot in interactive terminal, please do not execute plt file by double clicking.
Please execute, wgnuplot first and load plt file using File menu -> Open menu or type from gnuplot prompt

Close , there was a file association to "gnuplot" ; "kedit" in open with menu ; and "wgnuplot" in open with. I did a bunch of googling , and had to find all the keys with "plt" or "dem" in regedit.
I deleted all the keys that were tied to the three programs together with the file extensions. Exported the keys prior to delete. Then looked at .plt & .dem files - no icon image. Uninstalled gnuplot , reinstalled , now it works. Click on the files and the graph launches and stays - icon image came back. There are numerous locations in regedit , where the data is located.
I think that I did an "open with" with my editor to look at a .plt file ; and then the trouble started. There is no secondary program association in the open with menu now . In the future I will rename the file to .txt , then edit , and rename back to .plt.
I have attached the .reg files from the export , they are renamed as .txt files. My file names are just part of the key.
Open the files and do a "find" on "plt and "dem" - the top line is the key.
The issue can be closed. Thanks.
