[Bug report] cocopp overwrites output folder #2291

Closed nikohansen closed 1 month ago

nikohansen commented 4 months ago

The call

cocopp.main(observer.result_folder + ' bfgs!')

is bound to overwrite previous postprocessing results, because the code takes only the first five-or-so characters from observer.result_folder to create the outfolder name. This is probably not what the user expects to happen.

Maybe we should add a short hash from the combined pathnames and consequently overwrite only when all names are exactly the same?

The name is created in findfiles.get_output_directory_sub_folder.
