STM32CubeMX ''modified'' status of *.ioc files

[qwer.asdf]

Hi, it's a small but annoying bug, every time I open my *.ioc project file (which was gradually migrated 5-6 times from older versions) Cube immediately marks the project as modified (asterisk in the title just after the file name) and annoyingly asks to save the file when closing the Cube even when I changed nothing. Even when I agree to save the ''changes'', the next time I open the project it's in ''modified'' state again.

Dear user,

Thank you for your bug reporting.

If you still facing this issue, could you please share your .ioc file and the operating system you are using ?

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

Hello

qwer.asdf

,

This issue is not seen in the last releases.

Could you please upgrade your CubeMX release in order to avoid this issue?

Using 4.20.1 under Linux I see the project become 'modified' just by browsing around and looking at things.

ok, using CubeMX-4.21 under windows, we don't have this issue. I will have a look in depth on Linux to see if it is specific to Linux (and perhaps Mac as well).

I will keep you inform.

Hello David,

I did the test under Linux, and did not reproduce it.

To dig a bit more,could you please describe what you are doing ?

Are you opening a project, created by a previous CubeMx version ?

Could you please share your ioc file ?

Great thanks in advance.

Kind regards

I see the same behavior under Linux/4.20.1 and Windows/4.21: All you have to do is open a project and click the Configuration tab.  An asterisk appears next to the .ioc filename.  Attempting to close the project (or exit CMX) brings up the 'project is modified' dialog.

Hello David,

I tried under Linux (Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS/Java 1.8.0_121) and Win7 (Java 1.8.0_121).

By using CubeMX 4.20.1 and 4.21.

I openned an old project and created a new one. I browsed parameters, and cancel some parameters changes (in I2C configuration tab, for example).

The annoying star is not there (is there when I change a parameter, but disapears when I cancel it).

To be as closest as possible with your system conditions, could you help me by

    sharing your ioc file (at least the SoC you are using ) ?

    indicating me the Java version are you using ?

Great thanks in advance.

Kind regards

Sirma

I can confirm this behavior of CubeMX. It happens in all version under Linux up to current  used  4.20.1.

Reproducer:

1. Open a saved project again

2. Click configuration and then click on an arbitraly item under configuration, no modification of anything

3. Click cancel to close the modal window

4. Goto file -> exit

5. Without having changed anything CubeMX ask to save the project before closing.
