Introduction

Please also check the autoPROC home page and the news page for updates and snapshot releases.

Bruker Photon-II data

The same issue as in previous versions still seems to exist.

Picture generation on macOSX

Two regressions are present in this (and previous) release(s) when generating (1) the STARANISO 2D plots for the analysis of anisotropy and (2) the example diffraction images. This will be fixed in the next release - in the meantime you could execute the following commands to patch an existing installation:

  cd $autoPROC_home && \
    cp -vi autoPROC/jiffies/gpx.sh autoPROC/jiffies/gpx.sh.orig && \
    grep -v " /tmp/kak " autoPROC/jiffies/gpx.sh.orig > $autoPROC_home/autoPROC/jiffies/gpx.sh && \
    chmod 0755 $autoPROC_home/autoPROC/jiffies/gpx.sh

and

  cd $autoPROC_home && \
    cp -vi autoPROC/jiffies/aP_gnuplot autoPROC/jiffies/aP_gnuplot.orig && \
    sed "s% | awk '\/Unable to update the static FcBlanks.*%%g" autoPROC/jiffies/aP_gnuplot.orig > $autoPROC_home/autoPROC/jiffies/aP_gnuplot && \
    chmod 0755 $autoPROC_home/autoPROC/jiffies/aP_gnuplot
 

Odd GPX2 behaviour on MacOS 10.15

We've had reports from users about some unexpected GPX2 pop-up windows appearing on MacOS 10.15 (this apparently didn't happen on previous 10.X versions). We are trying to recreate and analyse this, but in the meantime you can set the parameter autoPROC_CreateGpxPictures to "no" which will switch the generation of diffraction image pictures completely off. This can be done via an enfironment variable

  setenv autoPROC_CreateGpxPictures "no"            # csh/tcsh
    - or -
  export autoPROC_CreateGpxPictures="no"            # bash/sh

or on the autoPROC command-line

  process autoPROC_CreateGpxPictures="no" ...

You can still check processing and predictions using GPX2 via the created gpx.sh scripts (see standard output).
