[Eeglablist] Why does GUI not update the "filename" field after I save a new dataset?

[Arnaud Delorme]

Hi James,

I believe this was reported as a bug

https://sccn.ucsd.edu/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1332

and it was fixed recently in version 13.1.1b - pop_newset.m, fix saving datasets from the graphic interface (SVN 10240). 
Let us know if it solves the problem.
Thanks,

Arno

This is fine. What I usually do is fill in the new dataset name, browse to a folder location and indicate that I want to save the new dataset, with a name that I give it, and often I don't overwrite the old dataset in memory.

EEGLAB does indeed successfully save the new dataset to my hard drive with the correct name, so that part is fine. It's just disconcerting after saving a dataset, for the GUI to tell me the new dataset has no filename. When I then go to save the dataset (not "save as"), I have to manually give it a name, which I usually indicate to be the name I just gave it (clicking "yes" to overwrite the dataset on my hard drive that already has that name, because it's the same dataset I am saving now).
