    Dear Izaak,<br>
    <br>
    First of all this is not the right place to post such request.<br>
    You's better make a post to XcrySDen mailing list.<br>
    Then, the problem does not come from QE but rather the version of
    XcrySDen you use.<br>
    I use the last release and I don't have any trouble.<br>
    It makes sence to update XcrySDen when you update QE since it adapts
    according to  QE features.<br>
    Hope it help.<br>
    Best,<br>
    <br>
                               Éric.<br>

                I use XCrySDen frequently to view my structures built
                with Quantum ESPRESSO. When I open old relax output
                files in XCrySDen that were produced with
                espresso-3.2.3, I can view "latest coordinates" or "all
                coordinates as animation" with no troubles. When I was
                using espresso-4.1.3, there must have been a certain
                line (or lack of a line) in the output files that made
                them not work in XCrySDen. Specifically, when I open
                these outputs in XCrySDen, only the "view initial
                coordinates" button works. By viewing "optimized
                coordinates" I get an error that reads:<br>
                <br>
                   ERROR: while executing exec sh
                ../XCrySDen-1.4.1bin-static/scripts/pwo2xsf.sh --optcoor
                ../relax.out > pwo2xsf.xsf.<br>
                <br>
                and when I click on "Error Info" it says:<br>
                <br>
                   Child process exited abnormally<br clear="all">
                <br>
                The "view latest coordinates" option produces a blank
                window and the "view all coordinates as animation"
                option only shows one slide (the initial structure). I
                think these errors were caused by a change that was made
                in the wording of the output files with the update of
                espresso-4.1.3 because when I compiled espresso-4.2.1, I
                did not have any of these problems. Now I am using the
                most recent version, espresso-4.3.1, and I am getting
                the same errors that I did with 4.1.3.<br>
                <br>
                What, in the code, is causing these problems to arise?
                Should I try updating my version of XCrySDen (from
                1.4.1)? Any incite on the matter would be much
                appreciated.<br>
                <br>
                Thanks in advance.<br>
