Dear All,


what do you think re this issue below? As hybrids become
more and more used (same also for GW calculations) the Wannier
code could become more and more helpful in providing good band
structures.

For hartree-fock and for hybrids - would it be enough to ask
pwscf to write out the wavefunctions for all the k-points related
to the ones used in the IBZ, just applying the symmetry operations
it found?

Dear Vojta,


this is a very good point, but also probably a question that we should
discuss
in the wannier forum - I'll forward it there.

Still, I wonder if the simplest solution to this would be to
add an option to pwscf to write out at the end of the scf
calculations also the wavefunctions for all the k-points related
by symmetry - let's discuss this on the wannier forum.
