Re: [phenixbb] Various problems with phenix.refine

If the .def file has a syntax error, phenix.refine dies with an error that the file format is not recognized. Why not print syntax errors?

It is a side-effect of automatically recognizing all file formats. We give up only after trying each and every possible reader. If nothing works, we don't have a mechanism to score what the file is most likely and then produce the format-specific error. Solving that problem is harder than it may seem at first sight. You can get the syntax error via iotbx.phil your.def Ralf
