Origin Version (Select Help-->About Origin): ORIGIN 7.5 SR6
Operating System: Windows XP Pro and Windows NT 4
Hi,
we are using an Origin project for presentation of measurement data.
The project uses several graph templates and a little bit of OriginC code.
Everything works fine including Import, calcualtion and presentation of data. If the calculations have finished we want to save the project with another filename to open it later for presentation purposes.
unfortunately the "Save project As" button doesn't work.
If we click it, the screen refreshs, but there is no dialog to choose a different filename.
Does anybody where this misbehavior is coming from or can anyone provide us with a solution to solve this problem?
Thanks for your help!
Best Regards,
AndiDC |

Okay, I found the mistake I made:
I used NI LabView to start Origin and load the project.
The path to the project was used in unix style "/auswertung/Auswertung.opj"
The project was loaded succesfully and the calculations in the project were done correctly.
I think if I tried to save the project to a different location the path was worng or not understandable or something else. Maybe this is why the Save Project Dialog did not open.
As I looked a bit deeper into Origin I recognized that the path shown in the title bar of the Origin window was like "C:\folder1\folder2\/auswertung/Auswertung.opj"
The solution was, that I changed the path to the project file to an absolute path on my harddisk like "C:\folder1\folder2\auswertung\Auswertung.opj" and now everything works fine.
Thanks for your help, hopefully I didn't waste too much of your time!
Regards
Andi

Hi, Andi. I tried to reproduce the problem with the project you sent to us yesterday. However, "Projekt speichern unter" works in the Origin 7.5 (SR6, German version) on our computer.
Do you have similar problems with other projects? If not, I suspect that the problem is related to the Origin C programs your buttons are using. Could you please send us the Origin C files via tech@originlab.com?

Hi!
Actually there is a "save project as" button in the file menu.
As I'm using the german version maybe the description is alittle bit different, but in german there are two options to save a project:
Projekt speichern - which schould be "save project"
Projekt speichern unter - which should be "save project as"
The 2nd button doesn't work in my project.
Regards

There is no "Save Project As" button in Origin. There is a "Save Project" button and perhaps that is what you are using. This of course does not prompt for a new file name.
You can create such a button and have it execute this script:
getsavename;
save %A;

It seems that it is very difficult to understand why this happens with the information you have provided. Would you mind sending us your OPJ via tech@originlab.com? Then we can try to reproduce the situation and find a solution.
