           Summary: Problems with the File to Array converter
           Product: Kepler
           Version: 1.0.0
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW

When attempting to run the "File to Array converter" actor as part of a
workflow which creates a text file from the output of a script, then converts
the text file to an array and performs various calculations, when the file
which is called in the actor is not in place prior to the running of the
workflow an exception will occur even when the PN director is used, which
should halt the firing of the actor until the file in question has been created
by the script.  It has been suggested to me that the problem is that the actor
makes the call to FileParameter inside the constructor instead of the fire()
method.
