# ''Question concerning TOOLS: "Show frame..."  on Mac: it creates everything shown in the commandline but it seem to us that everything runs in the background. Therefore xds-viewer does not open anywhere as it is not seen. Also, it would be great if this image together with the predictions would be re-directed to the FRAME tab.'' <br> Answer: On Linux, the xds-viewer window is brought to the foreground automatically, whereas on the Mac this does not seem to happen. However, an icon for xds-viewer appears in the dock (on the right) and I can double-click it to see the xds-viewer window. I have no idea how to bring xds-viewer to the foreground automatically, and I need input from people who know Macs and tell me how to do it (on the commandline!). The reason why we do not open automatically in the FRAME tab is that one can have several xds-viewer windows open at the same time, and compare the patterns. As a '''workaround''', you can manually open the resulting temp/FRAME_$X.cbf in the FRAME tab.

# ''Another question concerning TOOLS: "Further analyses" on Mac: again pointless runs nicely but there is no output for the user.'' <br> Answer: Could it be that you started xdsgui by double-clicking its icon in the Finder? In that case, there is no output visible, because there is no console. Unfortunately, for all the Tools, the output is in the console window where xdsgui was started. We will try to find out how to open a window where the output is then shown. Thus, currently the '''workaround''' for this problem is to start xdsgui in a console window.

# generate_XDS.INP does not seem to like spaces in file/directory names. While frame names rarely have a space in them, directories might, e.g. if an external disk has the label "John's USB disk" then this would be mounted on Linux as /media/John's USB disk/ and that would result in a error message from generate_XDS.INP . The '''workaround''' is to use a symlink on a different hard disk.
