OpenDrive import not working in Roadrunner 2020b Update3 on Linux

Hello,

I'm following these instructions:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/roadrunner/ug/Importing-OpenDRIVE-Files.html

importing OpenDrive files into RoadRunner. The steps are working as expected in Windows. However, in Linux (Ubuntu 18.04, to be more precise), it is not possible to drag a xodr file into the LibraryBrowser. When I attempt to drag an xodr file into the LibraryBrowser, the file does not show up in the RoadRunner LibraryBrowser. However, it does show up in the approporiate folder if the folder is viewed with the Ubuntu File Explorer. Because the file is not visible in the Library Browser, it is not possible to click and drag the OpenDRIVE file from the Library Browser into the scene.

The Library Browser looks like this both before and after dragging in the xodr file. In previous versions of Roadrunner, the xodr file would be visible after it was dragged in.

Please advise.

Regards,

-Aleksey Shepelev

Hi Aleksey,

RoadRunner relies on the ability to create meta files, those with an .rrmeta extension, in order to display assets and store additional properties for it. These files are automatically created when RoadRunner identifies a new asset. Is it possible that your directory is write protected? This might prevent RoadRunner from creating the metafile and, thus, prevent the asset from showing up.

Cheers,

-Alex
