Dear Oleksandr, Dear Iurii, Thank you very much, I understand that this code should rather stay disabled. @Iurii: the motivation (or rather - hope) is that TDDFT (or perhaps even epsilon.x) will give us the correct trend, whilst being much cheaper than GW/BSE (which we are trying as well). Best, Michal
