Problems importing Dynamic weight from csv

[Macco_Pe]

Hi all,
relatively new to Gephi but manage to create some stunning static network graphs, so very happy with it. Am now moving into dynamic graphs to try and draw some further conclusions from my material. However, I am hitting a wall in trying to get my edges Weight to change over time.

I am running Gephi 0.8.2 as known issues are preventing me from installing Gephi 0.9

I import Nodes and can set the Time interval for them to behave correctly when enabling TimeLine:

However, when I import my Edges list with Weight_dynamic column I cannot get it to behave correctly, as in dynamically.

I get Weight set to 1 for all edges and if I import Weight_dynamic as DynamicString I see the correct values but not the behavior and if I set it to Timeline Gephi imports Weight_dynamic without the actual "Weight" and only the Time-part (seen below):

It is the Weight over time aspect that I am most interested in for my study.

I am very much at a loss so any pointers and/or help would be very appreciated.

Kind regards,
M

Hi,
What is preventing you from using 0.9.2?

You should not use 0.8.2 anymore as it can be no longer supported.

Hi,
I get the same problem as:
https://github.com/gephi/gephi/issues/1631
Freezing when "Starting modules"
All "solutions" to no avail, running as administrator, Java dev kit, updated graphics drivers etc. 0.8.2 installs and works fine.

Best,
M

What is in your logs file? https://github.com/gephi/gephi/wiki/Troubleshooting

Did you try to download the .tar.gz distribution instead of using a windows installer? Just decompress and run gephi-uncompressed-dir/bin/gephi64.exe https://github.com/gephi/gephi/releases ... nux.tar.gz

More suggestions are disabling your antivirus or anything that can mess up with programs such as Gephi

SOLVED

I managed to solve my question. Before importing edges convert the Weight column to Dynamic (replacing Weight with Weight_dynamic). Import Nodes as previously but do not enable Timeline yet. Then import edges and set the Weight_dynamic to DynamicString. After this enable Timeline and it works like a treat.
