If you work with Eiger data, you may want to make a one-line change to the script after downloading, in order to point to the correct path on your system of the Dectris' Neggia library, or the Durin plugin, respectively. Just open the script with an editor and adjust neggia_path or durin_path ! This relieves users from having to change the LIB= line for every data set. You should also insert that path into the Menu / Settings / "generic library" in [[XDSGUI]] . | |||

If you do use cut-and-paste from the webpage, be aware of the following problem report: On the Mac, after loading frames, by clicking “generate XDS.INP”, the program gives some strange symbol “Ô in XDS.INP. And the more you click “save” button, the more “Ô appear. This looks like e.g. <br>SPACE_GROUP_NUMBER=0 à ! 0 if unknown <br>UNIT_CELL_CONSTANTS= 70 80 90 90 90 90 à <br> ''The problem is due to the “Rich text” format in TextEdit when saving "generate_XDS.INP". It is solved by re-downloading the script, and changing format to Plain - everything should work then.'' | If you do use cut-and-paste from the webpage, be aware of the following problem report: On the Mac, after loading frames, by clicking “generate XDS.INP”, the program gives some strange symbol “Ô in XDS.INP.
