Hi everybody, I developed a GUI for academic users of XDS which is documented at http://strucbio.biologie.uni-konstanz.de/xdswiki/index.php/XDSgui . This XDSwiki article also has the links to binaries of xdsGUI (or XDSgui or xds-gui; this has not been decided yet ...), for Linux 32 and 64 bit (compiled on a RHEL 6 clone), and Mac OS X (compiled on 10.7). The 'added value' of the GUI is that it produces informative plots which should greatly help to make decisions in data processing. The GUI is simple, tries to be self-explanatory and should be straightforward to operate. Noteworthy may be the TOOLS tab which offers a means to run commandline scripts upon a click with the mouse. This tab accepts user modifications which should make it attractive also for expert users - they can run their own scripts. This is the first version made publicly available. There are probaby bugs and I would like to learn about these. In particular, Mac experts please tell me how to solve the problems explained at the bottom of the Wiki article ...
