Zero weight arcs disappear on network load from file

[nienhth]

Platform: Intel Mac mini Running Sonoma 14.4; SocNetV v3.1
Retrieving a network from a saved file, Zero weight lines do not show.
See attached screenshots of network on save (9:09 am) and on file retrieval 5:08pm). Timestamps in file name.
Zero weight arcs used to appear on network load as blue lines (default which I did not change). Other arc weights and colors were changed.
If issue is on saving a file, user feedback that save is complete would be nice.
If this is as designed, perhaps don't allow zero weight or add a note to the documentation.
thanks,
Tom

The issue applies to the process of saving a file, then re-opening the file (Network-> Recent File) with UTF-8 encoding. Lines disappear, not just zero weight lines. The amount of work lost with over 50 nodes makes me question the integrity of the app and searching for an alternative.

Hello, Thanks for reporting this. However, I cannot reproduce it (at least on the latest 3.0 version which I tested). Can you please tell me which version you are using? Regards

Yes, you are right. The application does allow you to set the edge weight to zero, but it does not save these zero-weight edges to the graphml file (not to mention csv / adjacency where 0 means plainly "no-edge").
What is your use case of this? I mean, you obviously do no use those edges for computations (centrality etc)...
I am asking to see if there is a valid case so that I could implement this for you :)

[oxy86]

To resolve this quickly, I have added a new Settings option (in a new Options tab!) where you can select if any zero-weight edges will be saved or not (applies only for saving in GraphML format). This option is by default FALSE.
To test this, please try the latest v3.2-dev build from here:
