OMEdit fails to update relative class names to absolute ones upon duplicate
Just hit this problem again when preparing a workshop for new beginners. Is there any workaround other than having to manually update the class names in the duplicated model? @christiankral Any experience with this?
In the open source libraries provided on one of my GitHub repositories I replaced all relative class names in then examples by absolute class names. I have unfortunately no better option up to now.
Apparently the new front end seems to provide some new opportunities, see https://trac.openmodelica.org/OpenModelica/ticket/4536#comment:3
@casella I very much agree with @dietmarw that this issue is relevant for beginners. Moreover, if not familiar to (Modelica and) OpenModelica, some potential user might loose their interest, if a simple copy of a Modelica class "fails" due the missing capability of converting relative to absolute instance names.
@christiankral I absolutely agree. This thing will be top priority once that #8425 and related issues will be solved.
@dietmarw, @christiankral, a fully functional Duplicate feature was added in 1.23.0. This issue should be resolved. If not, please reopen.
