Re: [phenixbb] phenix.phaser params.eff output directory

Hi Nat, Thanks for your reply. I am now writing a bash script to call phenix.phaser. I do not want to use shell command like mv or cp the files to desired directory, as I will generate a lot outputs. I hope I could change some parameters in params.eff to achieve this goal more easily. But as you said, it is not possible, right? Just for confirm. Thanks for your reply.

Did I choose a wrong keyword to do this? What would be the correct way?

This parameter exists solely for use in the GUI; it won't have any effect on the command line. In hindsight this probably wasn't the best way to handle it - I should have enclosed it in a "gui {}" block to make the purpose clear. However, the intention was always that the program will output files to the current working directory, as this simplifies things considerably for the GUI. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, calling phenix.phaser from a shell or Python script which changes to (and creates if necessary) the desired directory is probably the best solution.
