# ''Question: the program prints'' <code> Object::connect: No such signal XdsconvTab::signalSetTabEnabled(QWidget*,bool) Object::connect: (sender name: 'xdsconv') Object::connect: (receiver name: 'tabWidget')</code> ''What's wrong?'' Answer: nothing is wrong. Just ignore this; it's a debugging output. | |||
# ''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. 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. | # ''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.

# ''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. Thus, you should really start xdsgui in a console window. | # ''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?

# there is a bug in XDSGUI that prevents it from displaying .h5 files. The symptom is that the frames appear to be blank. The workaround is: go to (upper left) "Menu"->"Settings"->remove the string "/usr/local/lib64/dectris-neggia.so" from "generic library", and install <code>H5ToXds</code> or <code>hdf2mini-cbf</code> as explained above. | # there is a bug in XDSGUI that prevents it from displaying .h5 files.
