Hi folks, Athena is not always particularly creative about the names it suggests for output files. For example, if you use the feature of saving several marked groups to a single output file, Athena suggests that the names be "marked.space". That is, if you save marked groups as chi(k), the suggested file name is "marked.chi". If you save marked groups as the real part of chi(R), the suggested file name is "marked.chir_re". It is possible to configure Explorer such that it does not display file extensions (i.e. the bit after the dot). That might make it hard to tell different marked group output files apart if the suggested names are used. Is this a problem for anyone? Should I change the suggested names such that the suggestive part is not in the extension? That is, would "chi.marked" and "chir_re.marked" be better names? If no one pipes up, then I'll assume things are ok as they stand. If even one person makes a compelling argument, I'll probably change the suggested names throughout my programs to avoid this situation. Thanks.
