[Gretl-users] Cannot open session file

[Sven Schreiber]

Hi Max,

what was the last version that worked?

What do you mean by "supporting files", AFAIK when the session is closed
there will only be one file for it (though I'm no expert on that).

What are your settings for your user directory and your preferred saving
location?

I don't think that the session is lost and hasn't been saved without
gretl warning about it. Probably it's just somewhere where it's not found.
