hi, thanks for the nice new version. I think I found a bug though: When entering data, the variable description (Kennzeichen) would permit german letters (Umlaute), but not save them correctly. When using factor-variables like sex (male vs. female) there is not only the encoding issue with "männlich", also the second level (weiblich) is not saved at all. hope you can sort this out. regards matthias
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Ok, I thought it had worked better before, but maybe I just never tried. But please add some more detail: In how far does it not save them correctly? I've tried this here, and while the Umlauts get escaped in an ugly way, they are still saved correctly: You can close the editor, open it again, and the Umlauts are still there, right (if not, please write back)? You should be able to display them correctly even in R with cat () instead of print (). Quite conceivably, we still have some encoding bugs, but I think we're getting the best possible out of R, here.
The issue with factor levels not getting saved was unrelated. I've fixed it in CVS, so it should no longer happen in the next release. As a temporary workaround, when entering factor levels, press the up arrow after editing the last cell, and before pressing "ok".
Thanks for your report!
