* The program depends on [[generate_XDS.INP]] to interpret the header of the frames, so is currently limited to Dectris (Pilatus, Eiger), ADSC (Quantum), Rigaku (several types), MAR (CCD and image plate) detectors, and the Bruker PHOTON II. Other detectors need some values to be manually filled into XDS.INP - the relevant places are marked with XXX. These are detector properties (type, pixel size and number, min and max counts in a pixel), and experimental parameters like ROTATION_AXIS, OSCILLATION_RANGE, X-RAY_WAVELENGTH, DETECTOR_DISTANCE, and XORG, YORG. For fine-tuning of detector parameters, see the [http://xds.mpimf-heidelberg.mpg.de/html_doc/xds_prepare.html detector-specific templates].

* The display of large frames in the FRAME tab may be slow over the network.

* The green INCLUDE_RESOLUTION and red semi-transparent EXCLUDE_RESOLUTION_RANGE circles in the Frame tab as well as all resolution values in the Frame and IDXREF tabs are calculated from values in XDS.INP (rather than from the refined values in XPARM.XDS, which XDS uses). For the (curved) Pilatus 12M, the calculations in XDSGUI do not give the correct results.

For the (segmented) Pilatus 12M, the calculations in XDSGUI do not give the correct results - this is fixed in versions from Sep-2023 onwards.
* The path (e.g. /usr/local/lib64/dectris-neggia.so) to the <code>dectris-neggia</code> library (available from Dectris) or the <code>durin-plugin</code> library (download from Diamond Light Source, DLS) should be entered into the "generic frame library" entry, in Menu->Settings, to enable visualization of raw data from Eiger detectors, but this mechanism may not work properly. Therefore, <code>H5ToXds</code> or (better because maintained by GlobalPhasing)<code>hdf2mini-cbf</code> may be installed as explained above.
