Hi Gary,
I've recently repeatedly encountered a minor oddity in the behaviour in ECCE v6.4 - under specific conditions the nwch.nw file gets
regenerated, so that all hand-edited change are lost.
It's not a show stopper, but it's a bit odd, and causes occasional swearing.
By Editor I am not referring to the vim editor but to the NWChem Electronic Structure Editor.
To reproduce:
1. Create a job in ECCE, hit Final Edit in the Editor and add e.g. maxiter 99 to the dft block. Run the job.
2. When it has finished (either by completion or by failing), open the Editor.
3. With the Editor open, Click on Run Mgmt/Reset for restart.
If you at this point inspect the input file (e.g. Final Edit, or ctrl +I) you will find that the hand-edited changes are gone.
In contrast,
- if your do NOT have the Editor open when hitting Reset for Restart (i.e. just highlight the job in the manager), the changes persist.
- If you DO have Editor open but hit the square
to reset, the changes persist.
- If you hit Run Mgmt/Reset to rerun, the changes persist
I've put a few screenshots here: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/11/minor-bug-in-ecce.html
