Execute Program if outputdirectory exists #61

Closed renepickhardt closed 9 years ago

renepickhardt commented 10 years ago

the program glmtk-count should not stop execution if the outputrepo exists but rather continue execution

lschmelzeisen commented 10 years ago

I disagree. As an outputdir does not have to be specifically specified by an user, it is easy to unintentionally overwrite parsing results from a previous run. So if a user explicitly wants to overwrite he should just delete the directory.

Ah now I realize what you meant: You want to continue execution from an older state.

renepickhardt commented 10 years ago

or at least give me -f = force option because it is annoying to do this again and again in debugging and development.

New API deals with this problem in a different way. If outputdir already exists, it tries to continue operation from the previous state.
