Unable to use timeline

[Vongow]

Hi there,

I've been using Gephi 0.8.2 on Linux (Mint 16) for a few weeks now, and I think this is a great product.
Today I tried to use time features, and followed a few tutorials to make sure I do things right.

So I properly created a time interval column in the data lab by merging columns, it appears to be quite ok, the column cells are partially teal.
In some tutorial I have seen a "Enable timeline" button in the bottom of the Data Lab page, there is no such thing in mine.
Then I tried to use filters : I pick Dynamic -> Time Interval.
This opens a tiny menu (Dynamic range configuration) in the bottom of the right panel, with a few options :

• Open timeline (does nothing)
• Keep empty values (changes a parameter in the filter)
• Select (selects the whole graph)
• Filter (does nothing)

I have no such thing as a dynamic frame / timeline player in the bottom of the window.
I tried to enable it with the window -> timeline option, with no success.

What do I do wrong ? How can I use the time utils ?

Thank you for your help

Could you post your dataset (or sample of it)? I've never had trouble with the timeline unless there was an error in the dynamic data column.

Hi there,

Eventually, it appears I was doing it all right, and my Gephi was somehow buggy.
Fully 'reinstalling' it (DL a brand new executable, and installing all my dear packages from scratch) made it work.
I have no clue of what was wrong, but I'm glad it works fine now. BTW, timeline is a great tool !

Sorry for bothering you all,
