# both generate_XDS.INP and [[XDS]] do not tolerate spaces ("blanks") in file/directory names. While frame names rarely have a space in them, directories might, e.g. if an external disk has the label "John's USB disk" then this would be mounted on Linux as /media/John's USB disk/ and that would result in a error message from generate_XDS.INP and/or XDS. The '''workaround''' is to use a symlink on a different hard disk. | # both generate_XDS.INP and [[XDS]] do not tolerate spaces ("blanks") in file/directory names.

# | # Error pop-up "image conversion failed", and frames from HDF5-files (*master.h5) are not being displayed: the symptom is that the frames appear to be empty/blank. This is an error message not from XDS (the data processing program), but from XDSGUI (the graphics program). It means you have not specified the correct "generic library" - see [[XDSGUI#Technical aspects of XDSGUI usage|Technical aspects of XDSGUI usage]]. The fix is: go to (upper left) "Menu"->"Settings (or Preferences on Mac)"->insert "/usr/local/lib64/dectris-neggia.so" as "generic frame library", or try "/usr/local/lib64/durin-plugin.so" for DIAMOND data. Alternatively and even better, export the environment variable DURIN_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/durin-plugin.so or NEGGIA_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/dectris-neggia.so . Ask the system administrator for the exact path! If none of these works, leave "generic library" empty and install <code>H5ToXds</code> or <code>hdf2mini-cbf</code> as explained above.
