OpenLCA 1.5 is great, but issue with global parameters

Hello the OpenLCA team,

I am trying out the new OpenLCA 1.5, and it is a great improvement. I like it very much.
Yet, I noticed that I could not find out how to add/delete global parameters...
I can't see the buttons.

Best regards,
Romain

Hm - just right-click and delete?

Hi,
sorry, stupid of me, I did not see they were showing on the side bar.
Thank you.

Hi Andreas,

I'am also facing an issue with global parameters deletion on v1.5. Here, right-click and delete is not working for me (confirmation message appears, click Yes, but then nothing). I have tried uninstalling the software and reinstalling it: the problem remains. FYI: the working database contains several hundreds of global parameters, most of them were brought along imported datasets (SimaPro csv import), i.e. not created in openLCA.

Also noteworthy about global parameters, there is a different issue reported to me by colleagues: They are able to delete a global parameter which is actually used by a process without any warning. It is force-replaced by a "0". Of course, prevention of such a deletion would be welcome ;-)

Regards,
Dominique

Hello Dominique,
the parameters are of course not dependent on the installation. Can you maybe send us examples, for both force-delete and unable to delete without message?
Thank you,
Andreas

Hi all,

I also had problems with this once. Finally I realised that if these were in any formula of a processes, I could not delete it. This is somehow a warning that tells you ..."before deleting the parameter, be sure it is not involved in a formula because you will be in trouble with calculations later".

Hi Francesca, and all,
indeed, that is an issue in the released version. This is fixed now in version 1.5 which we hope to release really soon (some final final tests).
Thank you for your patience!
Andreas
