Hi Hartmut,
Thank you for the report. This is a bug in the new attribute-handling features of Ferret v6.0. We will be releasing a bug-fix version of Ferret fairly soon, with a few small bugs that have been reported.

Hello,

I'm just wondering if the long_name is now required for variables?
With versions up to 5.81, if the long_name attribute was not defined,
the variable name was shown as a label below the plot, but with ferret 6.0 this is no longer the case, only the units are displayed.
Is there a way to show the variable name if the attribute wasn't defined?

Thanks!
