Hi, I can not find one small thing - sorting files in Athena - it makes me crazy ;) I work with QEXAFS data - usualy few tens of files or even more. Files are named in such way: "file_name"rXX.fio where XX is next file number (1, 2, 3, ... ,10, 11, 12, ... , 20, 21, etc.). I use Iffefit under Win XP, and every time when I open (import) more files I have them in such order: 1, 11, 12, 13, ... , 19, 2, 20, 21, 22, ... , 29, 3, 30, 31 ... etc. So, my question is if there is some "hidden" way to sort automatically files during importing or in the menue. Do you know something about? Is the sorting lexigraphical (from Windows)?
The file selection dialog sorts alphabetically. There is no quick-n-easy way to resort the data groups once in Athena. The best solution would be to name the files in a way that alphabetical sorting will be the same as time sorting. The way to do that will be to name the first file "f01.fio" rather than "r1.fio".
another problem which apears, is the limitation of the memmory...
That is a well known, well discussed problem. Ifeffit is written in fortran. Fortran does not have dynamic memory allocation. The only practical solution is tonot read so many data files in at a time. I wish it were different, but it's not.
