st: Problem with saving graphs

[kerbym@mun.ca]

I seem to be having a problem with saving my Stata 10.1 graphs using OSX
10.6.3.

I run a do file which reads:

version 10
#delimit ;
clear ;
sysuse cancer.dta ;
stset studytime, fail(died==1) ;
sts graph, saving(graphtest.png, replace) ;

The graph appears in the graph viewer but when I go to open png file I get the
message "The file "graphtest.png" could not be opened. It may be damaged or use
a file format that Preview doesn't recognize" I've tried saving the graph in
different formats and I get the same message.

The odd thing is that if I manually save the graph using the "save" icon on the
graph viewer, then I have no problem; the graph saves perfectly as a png or
whatever format I choose. I've tried saving graphics and pictures using other
applications and I had no problem, it only seems to happen using Stata.

Has anybody else had this problem? Does anyone know of a solution?

Best etc.
