General Questions and Answers / When GUI crashes it locks the hdf5 files
« on: April 6, 2023, 14:29 »
Hello,
I have been recently using QATK to do DFT calculations on 1D and 2D systems and I have been very impressied about the quality of the results and the performance of the software.
That said, the GUI interface is not that stable in our workstations, and when it crashes it seems to lock the hdf5 file that is being analyzed turning it unreadable by the GUI after restart. Somehow I understood the origin of the problem (the error message does not mention the hdf5 file), and I found a way to recover from it, but it is a common nuisance. Any comments on this (I run the 2022.12 version)?
I think it is a nice idea to save everything in the hdf5 file, but is there an straightforward way to inspect/extract information hdf5 files from command line?.
regards
Manuel
