Yes, I have been checked code, and Cantor really set gnuplot as graphics toolkit, when integrated graphics enabled. But you actually haven't need to change it to 'qt' manually - use autorun scripts from Octave settings. I have been add example (attachment #1). > - Octave's workspace at startup is not initially seen in Cantor workspace. > For instance, I set a variable in .octaverc like this `x = 2;` and it does > not appear in Cantor workspace, but if I then type in the console `x`, > Cantor correctly returns `2` at the time `x` and its value is added to the > workspace. Is you write 'x' in first executed entry? Because Cantor update variable list (variable manager) only first executed entry. For example, my .octaverc works as expected, see attachment #2 > So, can we make .octaverc the last bit that is executed at startup and have > Cantor display Octave's initial workspace? .octaverc can't be executed before Cantor startup because, Cantor init used --eval octave option. But I think, Cantor can improve currect behaviour, because the idea of changing graphics toolkit to gnuplot is avoiding default fltk, which can freeze octave program (and Cantor too) at all. So, instead of current "always change toolkit" we can use "change toolkit if fltk" and I think, this will be solve your problem, because you use 'qt' toolkit, not 'fltk' toolkit. > Also, I cannot confirm that the script I configure in cantor octave backend > settings is executed.

Do you sure, that after writing "x = 2;" you have pressed "Add" button? Because this is needed for actual adding script to autorun, see my attachment #3 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
