[Gretl-users] 'store' issues

[Sven Schreiber]

Hi,

playing around with the 'store' command, I came across the following (on
1.6.0 self-compiled on ubuntu edgy):

* store saves data in ~, even though ~/gretl is activated in prefs

* with data from example file data2-3.gdt (annual), store saves dates as
literally "'1995" (including the double quotes); reopening works fine,
but why all these quotes, including the single quote?

* store --csv saves first column with heading "obs", although in the
guide it says that for reading the column must have header "date" ??
(well actually haven't double-checked that last assumption, sorry, am in
a rush) But reopening with ascii works, so just a documentation bug?

* gui importing from csv seems to presuppose .csv extension, must use
ascii import for csv files with different extension -- is that necessary?

* 'open' seems to rely on heuristics only; why no possibility to specify
e.g. --csv as in store?

Sorry if anything has been obsoleted in newer versions,
Sven
