[Ifeffit] IFEFFIT file saving issue

Dear fellow XAFS enthusiasts, My student is running into some trouble in that he can't seem to get any files from IFEFFIT (be it project or exported data files) to save on his computer. When he saves, no files show up in the folder he has saved to. I watched him do this myself to confirm this

Re: [Ifeffit] IFEFFIT file saving issue

Shinhyo - "Desktop" is almost certainly a folder under your user folder something like "C:\Users\\Desktop" (unless you really went out of your way to set something else up). If your user name has non-ASCII characters, that will not work. Many people with laptops running Windows purchased

Dear Matthew, I tried to save a project to "Desktop" which had no parent folder, but the same problem occurred. I think the non-ASCII character is not the only problem. Still, I can save onto a usb from now on. Thank you very much. Best, Shinhyo 보낸 사람: Matt

Dear Matts, Thank you for helping Shinhyo sort out his saving problem. Now we can do science! I appreciate your help (as someone who is less technologically inclined I was pretty lost as to suggestions). It was kind of you to take the time to work with him. Thank you, Liane Liane Moreau,

Re: [Ifeffit] IFEFFIT file saving issue

This may sound like an 'is it plugged in?' sort of suggestion, but I wonder if there's a permissions issue. Perhaps IFEFFIT doesn't have write permission where it's trying to write. It might help people diagnose the problem if you were to specify the OS being used. mam On 9/7/2021

Re: [Ifeffit] IFEFFIT file saving issue

This probably isn't relevant, but Desktop is actually a folder under c:. On my computer, it's C:\Users\MAMarcus. I see that 'other Matt' concurs with this and seems to be suggesting that your username may have non-ASCII characters. I'm guessing Korean. Try making a new folder under C:\

Re: [Ifeffit] IFEFFIT file saving issue

Dear Matthew, I can certainly save the files onto a folder directly under the C: (although I have to point out that I had/have only English alphabets in the folder names). Thank you very much. I appreciate your support. Best, Shinhyo 보낸 사람: Matthew Marcus 대신

Thank you for the response. The OS is Windows 10. In addition to the symptom that was described aforehand, Athena freezes when I try to save the file. Thank you, Shinhyo 보낸 사람: Matthew Marcus 대신 Ifeffit 보낸 날짜: 2021년 9월 7일 화요일 오후 3:35 받는 사람:

Re: [Ifeffit] IFEFFIT file saving issue

Hi Shinhyo, Again, I would ask to check that the folder you are having trouble saving to has any non-ASCII characters. For sure, ifeffit and demeter are not going to be able to handle folder or file names with non-ASCII characters. Larch is slightly better at this - it can work with files with
