This is a serious problem.

I change "how should maple handle the creation of new math engine?" to "Create new engine for each document". Then click on "Apply globally".  This is under Tools->Options->General

After I close Maple and start it again, I found it back to "Share one engine among all documents" ??

Why is that and how to make this permanent? 

Btw, the start Maple 2022 icon still says "Maple 2022 shared server". THis is in the start program menu. I complained about this in Maple 2021 but it is still not fixed.  https://www.mapleprimes.com/questions/231901-Why-Maple-2021-Only-Shows-shared-Server

I do not think this has anything to do with it. But who knows.

I noticed this when I started new worksheet and could not do anything in it because another worksheet was running something even though I made sure I had set the engine to start new one for each worksheet (this is the very first thing I do after I install Maple each time).

Any workaround to make the setting for the engine not change after closing Maple?

Windows 10. Maple 2022.

This is the first time I see such an error installing Maple on windows.

Right after the MS VS run-time installation completed (which is started by Maple installer) I got an error message saying it could not install fonts and to install them "manually".

Are there detailed instructions how is one supposed to do this? And what does this actually affect? As Maple starts ok and so far I see no issue with fonts but I have not done much with it yet other than open a worksheet and type few commands.

Looking at the folder in question, I see no instructions. Only font files. It will be good if Maplesoft could provide instructions for users on how to do that.  I do not want to do something that could end breaking the Maple installation or make things worst.

I set infolevel[dsolve]:=2; and first time I use it, it gives very long output. Next time I use it on same ode with same command it gives much shorter output.

Why is that and how to make it give the shorter output from first call?  This is very strange behavior.  One would expect the same output each time. The worksheet attached shows that first time it is used, the output is very long. At the end of the worksheet the call is made again with same infolevel, and now output is much smaller.

(getting error uploading worksheet. Will try again. Unable to do insert content keep getting error from this site. So I am just attaching it as link. May be due to large size of the worksheet)

infolevel_changes.mw

I capture the output of dsolve after setting infolevel to some file so I can later read that output and put it in my own document (Latex).

Currently what I do is set infolevel, then use writeto(file_name) to send all the output that would normally go to standard output to the text file, then later do readline to read it back for further processing.

The problem is that Maple does not put the output in the file the same way as it appears on the screen when using worksheet.

For example, all newlines are lost. So everything comes out in one line in the file_name .  I am not sure why that is.

Is there an option or trick to make the output not lose the newlines? It also seems to format things differently in the file. An example will make this clear

When running this code

restart;
currentdir("... set the directory to where you want to save the file to ..");

infolevel[:-dsolve]:=5;
writeto("output_of_dsolve.txt");  #send all output to file
sol:=dsolve(diff(y(x),x)=sin(x),y(x)); 
close("output_of_dsolve.txt"):
writeto(terminal); #to send output back to terminal

When I open the file output_of_dsolve.txt this is what shows

`Methods for first order ODEs:``--- Trying classification methods ---``trying a quadrature``<- quadrature successful`     solAssignyApplyFunction(x)equalsuminus0cosApplyFunction(x) + _C1, [

       Typesetting:-mprintslash([sol := y(x) = -cos(x) + _C1], 

       [y(x) = -cos(x) + _C1])]

But in the worksheet, when I run the same code without writeto("output_of_dsolve.txt");  so output goes to terminal as normal, here it is how it looks like

Is there a way to keep the newlines? And why there is some extra stuff in the file that do not show on the screen? Should one change the Settings for Display before doing the above? Currently the default I have is typesetting level is "Extended". Do not know if this affects it or not.

Is the above method the only way to capture the output of dsolve from infolevel to a text file? It looks like Maple uses `` in the file in place where there should be a newline (CR) inserted.

Update

I did this experiment but there is still some strange formatting coming out in the file. Here is an example

restart;

interface(typesetting=standard): #added this
interface(prettyprint=0):  #added this
currentdir(".....");

:-infolevel[:-dsolve]:=5;
writeto("output_of_dsolve.txt"); 
sol:=dsolve(diff(y(x),x)=sin(x),y(x)); 
close("output_of_dsolve.txt"):
writeto(terminal);

And now the text file has this

`Methods for first order ODEs:``--- Trying classification methods ---``trying a quadrature``<- quadrature successful`Typesetting:-mprintslash([(sol := y(x) = -cos(x)+_C1)],[y(x) = -cos(x)+_C1])

What is Typesetting:-mprintslash at the end of the line above? it is duplicate.

And how to get rid of it? Is there another settings to set other than interface(typesetting=standard): and interface(prettyprint=0): ?

Maple uses \begin{array}...\end{array} for the latex of a Matrix, which is all good. But for an empty matrix, it does not generate the column specification c or l and so the latex when compiled gives an error. Here is an example

W:=Matrix([[]]);
latex(W)

#which gives

\left[\begin{array}{}
{}
\end{array}\right]

Compare to 

W:=Matrix([[1]]);
latex(W)

#gives

\left[\begin{array}{c}
1 
\end{array}\right]

Because the c is missing in the first example, this generates an error

Adding the `c` fixes the Latex.

This came up with my code generated an empty  matrix from some computation.

May be this could be corrected for future version of Maple?

Thank you.
