Drag and drop Excel file bug fixes.
|
- Origin failed to import or open XLSX file by dragging and dropping into gray area or non-empty workbook. A dialog box appeared, saying "The xlsx file import failed for unknown reason. Error code = -2147286960.". This problem existed in versions 8.1 through 8.5.1, but has been fixed in 8.6.
- When dragging and dropping Excel files, Origin now gives option to import or open the file.

Bar and Column/Bar were not treated as same plot type

When user plotted a bar graph and then dragged and dropped more data into the bar graph, the two sets of data were not grouped since one was treated as Bar, and the other was treated as Column/Bar. We now automatically group Bar and Column/Bar plots together.

|
Analysis template with user defined fitting function failed to recalculate if no parameter initialization code
|
When defining fitting functions, users may put parameter values and settings in the Parameter Settings field instead of the Parameter Initialization and Constraints fields. If a user performed a nonlinear curve fit with a user-defined fitting function, then saved the analysis template and reloaded it to use with new data, the recalculation result was incorrect.
|
ORG-3442
|
Failed to trigger recalculation if source data was from bin worksheet of histogram.
|
If user plotted a histogram and used the Bin worksheet to do curve fitting, and then changed the bin size of histogram, the Bin worksheet was updated but fitting result did not update.

- Linked data failed to show in Worksheet output of Worksheet Query.
- 1st Value information failed to show in Worksheet Query dialog if the value was a cell linked to operation escape string.

|
Recalculation could not trigger if input was changed by an operation with output=<input>
|
Example:
- User had column A, B, and C.
- C was set to be Col(A)+col(B), and recalculation mode of col(C) was auto/manual.
- User later normalized col(A), and set the Normalize output to replace the original col(A). Or, user later performed smoothing on col(B) and set smoothing output to put to col(B).
- Col(C)'s result did not update accordingly.

Origin Graph pasted to Word/PPT did not remember Copy Page settings
|
When double-clicking an Origin graph in Word to open it in Origin, and then closing Origin, the graph size changed. This was because the Copy Page Setting Ratio number was not saved in the OLE object, and graph size changed according to Origin's Tools: Options: Page tab settings. Ratio is now saved in OLE object.

Convert column format could lead to larger column size
|
To recreate using LabTalk (in previous versions):
- Open a new default worksheet and run following script:
- col(a)=data(1,10);col(b)=data(1,1000);get col(a) -ex vv;vv=;
- You should get vv=32
- Convert col 1 to date by wks.col1.format=4;
- Run get col(a) -ex vv;vv=;
- It has become 1000.

Locally declared LabTalk function nested call failed
|
To recreate in Origin 8.5.1:
Create a text object and set script to run as Button using this script:
function double func2(double dval2)
{
dval2 *= dval2;
ty In func2, $(dval2);
return dval2;
}
function double func1(double dval1)
{
dval1 *= 2;
ty In func1, $(dval1);
return func2(dval1);
}
result = func1(3);
ty $(result);
The call to func2 failed in 8.5.1.
