I just installed the new ifeffit 1.2.11 version (including) update von my windows pc (OS windows xp). The program works fine so far, but when I want to open or save a file, project or xmu the program just ends (without any error message). The only way to use data is by loading recent files. Am I the only one with this problem?
Hi Lisa, "the program"? Do you mean Athena? I only have one idea. In the path to the file you are attempting to save, do you have any diacritic marks? That is, do any of the folders or files have an eszet, a c with a cedilla, a vowel with an accent, or any such? If so, could you try moving the file to a folder whose path only uses characters that get used in English. I thought I had fixed that problem in the most recent release, but I saw one example of it failing on a Portuguese vowel with a tilde a couple weeks ago. If that is not the issue, could you do the following: 1. Open a DOS command window. 2. cd to C:\Program Files\Ifeffit\bin . (If you installed the software somewhere other than C:\Program Files\Ifeffit\ then cd to that location 3. execute the runner by typing "runner" at the DOS prompt and select Athena (or whatever program is causing the problem) 4. do whatever it is that causes Athena (or whatever) to fail 5. let us know what the error messages in the command window say B -- Bruce Ravel ------------------------------------ bravel@bnl.gov National Institute of Standards and Technology Synchrotron Methods Group at NSLS --- Beamlines U7A, X24A, X23A2 Building 535A Upton NY, 11973 My homepage: http://xafs.org/BruceRavel EXAFS software: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~ravel/software/exafs/
