[kepler-users] Bug with saving actors to library

[Christopher Brooks]

Hi Tomasz,
Strange, I don't have "Save in Library" in my Kepler configuration
(see attached).

Are you running with a regular configuration?  My tree is fairly recent
and updated today.  I did "ant switch-to -Dsuite=kepler" to create the tree.
I have a slow connection today and tomorrow, so I can't check out a clean tree.
Would you have the opportunity to check out a clean tree and replicate the bug?

I do have "Save in Library" in Vergil when running in a Ptolemy tree
outside of Kepler.

I can't replicate the problem there either.

There could easily be a bug here, there have been issues with composites that
contain no actors.
