Consistent behavior on delaying creation of the output file(s) / output directory #60

Open fedarko opened 1 year ago

fedarko commented 1 year ago

Some commands create an output directory early on (e.g. link nt); others wait until we know that, for example, a single "good" file / contig / etc. exists that we can output data for (e.g. link graph...) It would be nice to be more consistent with this, where reasonable.

In general, delaying creation of output files is nice because it avoids cluttering the user's system with empty files.
