[kepler-users] Bug with saving actors to library

Tue Feb 2 10:23:49 PST 2010

Hello Chad,

in this particular case, error still remains.

If you save this example workflow into KAR, then make this KAR  
available to Kepler-1.0.0 buy putting it into kar/actor directory you  
can browse for it within components windows. Unfortunatelly, the link  
is still broken.

Cheers

Michal
