Incomplete directory tree within NEURON
Posted: Wed Oct 02, 2013 8:55 pm
Hello, this may be a Cygwin issue and not a NEURON issue; I'm not sure. I'm on a 64-bit Windows 8 Machine using the NEURON 7.3 GUI.
I have a main folder where I keep all my NEURON models; each model is in its own subdirectory. Lately when I open the NEURON 7.3 GUI and use the commands under the File menu (load hoc file, change working directory), I can get into the main folder, but then it only shows one of the model subdirectories within the main folder, even though there are many folders there. I don't know why all of the folders are not shown. At the command line, I can tell NEURON to load any file from the invisible folders (giving the relative path to the file in the load_file command) and NEURON loads it just fine. NEURON just won't display some of the folders in its folder-picker or file-picker.
I don't think that I had this problem a few months ago. I noticed a lot of problems with NEURON and Cygwin right after I installed the Java JDK (in preparation for downloading NeuroConstruct), so I uninstalled the Java JDK, did a system restore, and reinstalled NEURON. Most of the problems disappeared, but this issue I just described was not resolved. It could be a coincidence that the problems started at the time of the JDK installation, but I am not aware of any other changes made at that time.
