Loading .jar file error

Hi,
I have one protein alignment that I am editing manually since weeks and which jalview 2.5 does not seems to be able to open anymore... I used to have 2.4 on my windows machine which I updated recently.

The file was .jar file which I choose to be able to keep features to the MSA.

I have 2.4 on Linux which seems to be able to open it (so no file corruption).

What shall I do? I do not want to lose my annotations and hope the jar format from Jalview should be compatible. Any ideas? I can provide the .jar file.

Thanks in advance

Cheers,

Jean

Hello Jean.

This sounds very much like a bug. Could you send me the jar file ? If possible, could you also send me the contents of the Jalview console window - this should contain any exceptions raised when parsing the file on your machine.

Jim.

Hi Jean.

I've not worked out what the problem is with your file, but I do have a workaround.

The symptom I see is that whilst I can load the file into jalview 2.5 without any exceptions, but the alignment panel isn't updated when I move the horizontal scroll bar to the left or the right.

The workaround is to press 'Ctrl-T' - which will open up a new view - this one should work as normal. Once the new view is created you can close the other view (select it's tab, then press Ctrl-W).

I hope this helps! Hopefully I'll find the bug before I make the next release...
Jim.
