Title: import xyz file in VNL by drag and drop.
Post by: nori on February 3, 2009, 03:03

I got the request about the function of VNL from my customer.

In current version of VNL, it's only way (?) to import xyz file in VNL as follows:
1. activate "Result Browser",
2. press "Open" button of "Result Browser" window and select xyz file.
It sounds somewhat messy.

If one can import xyz file in VNL by drag and drop directly, it's very  useful.
I guess this improvement is not trivial because xyz format is often used and it's also true for other format like CIF.

Thank you for this request. It is always important to know what customers think and expect of the product.

Improved I/O handling in general, as well as extended support for external file formats, is one of the priorities for the next version of VNL, which is currently under development. I therefore anticipate that this request will be fulfilled by the next release, albeit perhaps not exactly solved in the proposed way.
