<div class="markdown_content"><p>Answer to question 1: yes. The file contains <code>set loadpath 'C:\myGnuplots'</code>.<br/> Anser to question 2: I <code>save</code>ed and <code>load</code>ed in the same gnuplot session.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>First question: is there a 'set loadpath' command in the file <code>&lt;filename&gt;.gp</code>that you saved?</p> <p>Second question: When you later issue the <code>load '&lt;filename&gt;.gp</code> command and it fails, is that in the same gnuplot session as you were in when you originally saved it? If not, is the new gnuplot session being run from the same user directory as original session? What does the new (failing) session report for <code>show loadpath</code>?</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>I use <code>set loadpath 'C:\myGnuplots'</code> via the access to <code>Edit gnuplot.ini</code> supplied by <code>gnuplot</code>. What works:<br/> (1) plotting: <code>plot 'Data.dat' u 1:2 with linespoints</code> successfully plots for <code>Data.dat</code> resident in <code>C:\myGnuplots</code>, not path needed.<br/> (2) <code>save '&lt;filename&gt;.gp'</code> places <code>&lt;filename&gt;.gp</code> in the <code>C:\myGnuplots</code> folder, again, no path needed.<br/> However, <code>load '&lt;filename&gt;.gp'</code> cannot find the data file. But to my surprise I found that If I now copy <code>Data.dat</code> into <code>c:\Program Files\gnuplot\demo</code> loading will regenerate the plot. Evidently the application sets <code>GNUPLOT_LIB=C:\Program Files\gnuplot\demo;C:\Program Files\gnuplot\demo\games;C:\Program Files\gnuplot\share</code>.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Is there no "set loadpath" command at all in your save file, or is there a "set loadpath" command but it contains an incorrect path? It works under linux, but I don't have a Windows machine to test on, so I don't know if there is some Windows-specific problem with the save command.</p></div>

<div class="markdown_content"><p>Version 6.0 patchlevel 3; Windows 10.</p> <p><code>set loadpath 'C:\myGnuplots'</code> to have all my saved <code>&lt;...&gt;.gp</code> and associated <code>&lt;&gt;.dat</code> files reside in <code>C:\myGnuplots</code>. With a data file <code>Data.dat</code> resident in <code>C:\myGnuplots</code>, <code>plot 'Data.dat' u 1:2 with linespoints</code> successfully executes. Subsequent <code>save 'Data.gp'</code> deposits the <code>'Data.gp'</code> file in <code>C:\myGnuplots</code>. However, an attempt to regenerate the plot with <code>load 'Data.gp'</code> fails due to data missing. Interestingly enough, if I deposit the <code>Data.dat</code> file into <code>...\gnuplot\demo</code> the <code>load 'Data.gp'</code> is successful. Tells me that my path to <code>C:\myGnuplots</code> gets lost in the <code>save</code> command somehow.</p></div>
