# both generate_XDS.INP and [[XDS]] do not seem to like spaces ("blanks") 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 and/or XDS. The '''workaround''' is to use a symlink on a different hard disk. | # both generate_XDS.INP and [[XDS]] do not seem to like spaces ("blanks") in file/directory names.

# ''Problem description: On the Mac, after loading frames, by clicking “generate XDS.INP”, the program gives some strange symbol “Ô in XDS.INP.

It is solved by re-downloading the script, and changing format to Plain - everything is working now. | # ''Problem description: On the Mac, after loading frames, by clicking “generate XDS.INP”, the program gives some strange symbol “Ô in XDS.INP.

# On RHEL7 and clones, the Mate | # On RHEL7 and clones, the Mate (version 1.8.2) and Gnome-classic desktop do not cooperate well with XDSGUI based on Qt (tested: versions 4.6.2 and 4.8.5). Symptoms: the pulldown menu for the untrusted areas in the Frame tab is not functional, and XDSGUI may hang if XDS.INP is re-written from within the Tools menu. Workaround: use the Gnome or KDE desktop. | ||
