Hello List, I have updated my gnu radio from 3.7.2.1 to 3.7.7.1. After the update when i am typing the “gnuradio-companion” it is getting open but the propriety icon is missing. I tried to make the new flow graph and i am successfully able to execute the graph. The results are coming out, but When i am trying to see that grc file it is getting open as “Xml” file. However, the extension of the graph is .grc only. Also, after the successful execution of the graph the python script is not getting generated at all. And i am not able to directly open the built grc file by double click on that one. Kindly suggest, What I have done wrong. Any help is appreciated. Thank you ---

We did change some of the toolbar icons since 3.7.2.1, though, so they might be different. I’m just not sure what you mean by missing. Are you sure that you’re looking for the right Python file name? The ID in the Options block will set what that file is named as, so by default “ID=top\_block,” and so it’ll produce top\_block.py. Any chance you don’t have write permission in the directory?

Hello Tom, Thank you for your prompt reply. I have fixed the python script issue. Icon means after saving the grc flowgraph it is showing as xml file in browser where it is located (But it should open in gnuradio companion UI). There is no signal block icon. The file is getting saved as application/xml format ☹ Also, the flow graph dont have signal blocks icon as it was in earlier version. Thank you for your reply.

Well, yes, this is the source directory containing the unexpanded script and resource files. To run the comand you have to replace YOUR\_INSTALL\_PREFIX with the path prefix you installed gnuradio to, e.g. /usr/local Also, please keep the list in cc. Sebastian ---
