The input deck is only set to output grid-based quantities, so the size of these will never change. If a per-particle property is added then the file sizes increase over time.

Those two parameters are not used. Probably a leftover from a previous revision of the deck

Thanks for clarification, though look as not important they are capable to confuse you for days as you expect everything should work and tested in demos. Clearly, doctor left a lot of napkins in the body after surgery :).

Following the links, I'm guessing this issue is referring to the ionisation.deck file.

I think the user would like to set the nsteps parameter to nsteps=-1 in ionisation.deck.

Originally these decks were intended to show off input deck syntax, but if the users want to run these, we should include this edit to allow it to run multiple steps.
