As discussed several months ago and as announced in the release notes, the development version of Cactus now uses a slightly different naming scheme for output files. This affects files written with the "one_file_per_group" option.
Previously, Cactus would separate group and variable names in the file name by two colons "::". This was not a good choice, since colons in file names often have a special meaning, e.g. for rsync or scp, requiring backslashes to quote these colon characters. In Windows and in at least one cloud-based storage system, colons are not allowed in file names. We thus think that using colons was a bad choice, and this should not be the default setting. Cactus now follows the Unix convention of separating different parts in file names with a single hyphen "-". For example, the file name "wavetoy::phi.x.asc" now becomes "wavetoy-phi.x.asc". This naming scheme is defined by the parameter IO::out_group_separator. You can restore the old behaviour by setting this parameter to "::". -erik -- Erik Schnetter <[email protected]> http://www.perimeterinstitute.ca/personal/eschnetter/ _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://cactuscode.org/mailman/listinfo/users
