Deactivate identification of field-related species #25

Closed AngelFP closed 3 years ago

AngelFP commented 3 years ago

This PR deactivates a feature in the openPMD folder scanner which tries to determine whether a field corresponds to a particle species. The implementation was only valid for FBPIC and could lead to problems in other cases where an '_' was present in the field name. A better way of identifying whether a field belongs to a species will be implemented once openPMD 2.0 is released, as this feature will be added to the standard as an optional parameter (see https://github.com/openPMD/openPMD-standard/pull/243, https://github.com/openPMD/openPMD-standard/issues/238).
