Gamess crash #702

Crashes upon attempt to open or import Gamess output (log) file.

I'm going to need more information. For example, can you attach the file? Can you tell us the version of Avogadro and/or the OS?

Thanks!

Thank you Geoff. We are using Avogadro version 1.1.1 on Mac OS X 10.7.5. Avogadro seems to open Gamess .inp without difficulty, bet there is serious difficulty opening any .log file. The file might open with success on first attempt but attempting to open another log file will crash Avogadro. Seems to be a different behavior between "open' and "open recent". Will attach two small Gamess log files that cause crashes here.

I have something to add here. Avogadro will currently open some gamess output files but not all. It appears that results not using symmetry (point group is C1) will open fine, but if other symmetry groups were used in the calculation then it will not open the file at all. This happens in v.1.1.0, but an older version I have on another computer (I think v0.9, but definitely pre 1.0) will open all files regardless of symmetry. Notice in the example file above, the c2v point group on line 111.
