#1966 gnuplot not opening graph

[Cash Fields]

gnuplot will not load a ".plt" file in "windows explorer" with a "search" parm. I beleive that the "dir path" goes bad. Can load & exec file if no "search" ; if search then flicker and "nada".

I think the path to the current file is not read , and the gnuplot fails to load the data.

Yes, if you put

path = GPVAL_PWD
pause -1 path

into your script (instead of an actual plot command), you see that windows actually executes the script in C:\Windows\System32 instead of the current path if you run it from the search window. (tested in win7 here)

I guess you will have to work around that, because this is a windows feature, not a gnuplot bug.

Unless there is a special windows configuration option for that, which the gnuplot installer should set ... ?
