#279 .magicrc ignored Issue created by jacobnrohan I'm running qflow using the suggested demo source file map9v3.v. The flow runs successfully through the Migration step using the osu018 technology. Placement and Routing steps show their respective animations. However, when I click "Edit Layout" in qflow, magic opens with an empty layout and no technology layers, and qflow reports the following:

Diagnostic:   Creating qflow.magicrc
Diagnostic:   Found a tech load command in .magicrc
Diagnostic:   tech load not trusted
Diagnostic:   Inserting own tech load
Magic version is 8.3.443

For clarity, after clicking "Edit Layout", qflow.magicrc is generated: However, nothing appears in magic: magic log

At first I thought this was an issue in qflow. But now I'm wondering if the intended function of magic is to load from .magicrc then qflow.rc. If so, something appears to be wrong in magic. If not, something might be wrong with the way qflow inserts the

tech load

. temporary work around By adding the

tech load

line to

qflow.magicrc

, overwritting the hidden file

mv ./qflow.magicrc ./.magicrc

, then running

magic

, I can view the design. magic log
