Thank you for the quick fix Pantxo!

The OP confirmed that the patch of comment #11 is working, I can confirm the same.

The patch will be included in whatever the next release of Octave is.

Closing as fixed.

I found where it lies, and fixed it, this bug disappeared. Here is the full path:
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.octave.Octave/x86_64/stable/246709717fa2b00015a79d2c14306d05f544e1c01c2ab91b09fdc800df84fb35/files/share/octave/5.1.0/m/plot/util

I can’t edit the file, I don’t know where it is, when debugging, they write me the path to it: "/app/share/octave/5.1.0/m/plot/util/print.m" and I do not have any app folder in the root folder.

I pushed the following simple patch to stable that fixes the issue:

http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/493922902ae9

Marking ready for test.

@davidblbulyan: Since it is a simple modification of a .m file, if you don't want to wait for the next/fixed version of Octave, you can do that simple change in your print.m source file.

Thanks, now I can confirm. The following is enough to reproduce the issue:


plot (1:10)
mkdir "path with space"
print "path with space/toto.svg"


I'll change the title to better reflect the actual issue. I'll look into this.

The .pdf file for my script was saved, but without the Cyrillic alphabet inside it, well, that is, there are no Russian signatures of units for axis labels and there is no graph name.
I also noticed a bug that even if I explicitly choose another folder in the "Save As" dialog, for some reason the folder is still selected "/home/david/Программы GNU Octave/". I don’t know, maybe it’s stuck, I will restart the octave and check.

@davidblbulyan: Thanks, so uiputfile does seem to work well. Can you inspect directly the arguments to the print function:


close all
plot (1:10)
dbstop print


Now save your figure to e.g. "/home/david/toto.pdf" using the File>Save dialog. Once you've pressed the "Save" button, the command window prompt have switched to debug mode at the first line of print.m. If you type "varargin" you should see all the arguments passed to the function.

In my case varargin contians the following:

For an existing file:
[FNAME, FPATH, FLTIDX] = uiputfile ()
FNAME = untitled.jpg
FPATH = /home/david/Программы GNU Octave/
FLTIDX = 0
For an not existing file:

FNAME = awdadwadawdawdasdaw.txt

No, what I want is to know wether the issue comes from the file selection user interface (since the low level "print" part does seem to work). So what I would like is you to run the following command in a command window:


[FNAME, FPATH, FLTIDX] = uiputfile ()
## Select an existing file, hit save, tell us the content of the variables FNAME, FPATH, FLTIDX
## Same for a non existing file


For example, if I select a non existing file on my desktop with name "toto.txt", I obtain


octave:2> [FNAME, FPATH, FLTIDX] = uiputfile ()
FNAME = toto.txt
FPATH = /home/myuser/Desktop/
FLTIDX =  1

> @davidblbulyan: what does "uiputfile ()" return when you select a file?

Did I understand correctly that instead of saving my schedule, I should choose an already saved one? If so, then it is not clear to me in what format the opened file should be, there in the list with the choice of formats there are only "octave figure file" and I do not have graphs in this format. And then, attach the output of what is being printed to the Octave console?
Well, for example, I opened the .jpg file and this is what appeared in the Octave console:

>> error: hgload: unable to locate file /home/david/Программы GNU Octave/untitled.jpg

execution error in graphics callback function

This is what Octave writes to the console when trying to save a .svg file through a standard dialog:

octave-svgconvert infile fmt dpi font reconstruct outfile

Convert svg file to pdf, or svg. All arguments are mandatory:

  • infile: input svg file or "-" to indicate that the input svg fileshould be read from stdin
  • fmt: format of the output file. May be one of pdf or svg
  • dpi: device dependent resolution in screen pixel per inch
  • font: specify a file name for the default FreeSans font
  • reconstruct: specify wether to reconstruct triangle to polygons (0 or 1)
  • outfile: output file name

I tried 'print -dsvg "path/to/fig1"' to append to the end of my file and it worked, but the standard dialog still doesn’t save the files on my Ubuntu 18.04 x64. I do not know what this is connected with. I also noticed that if you enter the .pdf extension, it saves everything perfectly, the format that was selected in the list is "Octave Figure File", and the extension I typed .pdf, it was also noticed that with the .jpg extension everything is saved, with the "Octave Figure File" format, I also noticed that .svg are not saved in this way. I will also attach a screenshot of the save dialog box to you so that you can understand which list with formats in question. I circled in red the very list with the formats in the screenshot.

Thank you for your bug report.  With my Flatpak Octave 5.1 installation on openSUSE 15.1 I cannot reproduce the problem with your attached file #47356.  "Save as..." saves the desired figure to an arbitrary directory.  Even the Cyrillic chars are for most output formats no problem.

Can you try to create the figures from the Octave command line by entering the commands


print -djpg path/to/fig1
print -dsvg path/to/fig1
...


after running your script?

Problems with exporting a chart from a chart window.
The problem manifests itself as follows: I am building a graph using the plot function, I select the "File" item in the main menu of this window with the graph, then "Save As" I enter the name and extension, regardless of which extension I entered, and even if it corresponds to the format that is separately selected in the same dialog box, the file is still not saved, well, that is, the dialog box when you click the Open button, yes yes, you have the Open button in the save dialog, instead of saving, and no, I did not confuse the menu items, if only because in this dialog box there is a field for entering the file name, well, if you click on this button, which is the “save” button, the dialog box closes without displaying any errors, as if everything was successful, but the file does not appear in the selected directory, I checked this is several times, and there is a problem even when the ascii characters are exclusively in the path to the file, that is, the problem clearly does not depend on the fact that some of my directories are named Cyrillic, which means it is something else. I have GNU Octave 5.1 Ubuntu 18.04, I installed Octave using flatpak, I apologize in advance for my English, well, like mine, for machine translation, English is not my native language, so if you see some bulky illogical constructions, it's not me, but Google Translate, if something is unclear, ask again, I will answer. Hope you fix this problem. P.S. Sorry about the long message.
