Sayan611 commented 2 years ago

Hi, I am getting an error when I am trying to load the input.cfg file in Spirit. I have attached a screenshot regarding this which shows the error message in the middle. I have also attached my input.cgf file which is showing this error. I will be very grateful if you kindly help me out. Thanks. Regards Sayan Banik

Hey, reading in a different config file only works if the number of spins in the new config file is the same as the number of spins currently in the system. I suspect this might be the cause of the issue here. I understand that this behaviour is quite unintuitive... In practice, I can't think of any time I ever needed this function, though.

If you want to start the GUI with a certain cfg file I recommend to use command line arguments, like so: ./spirit -f path/to/myinput.cfg
