Rename output files to let their names more user-friendly #3262

Closed kirk0830 closed 2 months ago

kirk0830 commented 11 months ago

Background

Present files output:

running_*.scf // log of job
OLD1_SPIN_CHG.cube // not very clear
NOW_SPIN_CHG.cube // seems the spin distribution of the latest state
STRU_READIN_ADJUST.cif // seems the structure read -in
STRU_SIMPLE.cif // not very clear
STRU_ION_D // not very clear about the letter "D" and why emphasize "ion"

Describe the solution you'd like

Quantum ESPRESSO outputs structure in stdout, CP2K outputs structure in appending way to *-pos-1.xyz.

I think structure and properties (with atom information like constraints, mulliken charge and magnetic moments projected to each atom) should all be print-out or have a copy in running*.log, which is much easier for third software to interface with abacus. Now, ASE cannot read any constraints, charge and magnetic moments from ABACUS output results.

@pxlxingliang Could you please comment?

It is best not to modify the name of some commonly used file, like: running_scf.log and STRU_ION_D. Most of the post process soft will use them.
