[QE-users] Question about |psi|^2 2D plot (XCrySDen)

The message means that you should run pp.x again on an input file having 
the first namelist empty :
&inputpp
  /
followed by your namelist &plot with all yourdata. You may need to 
specify in filepp(1) the same file name as in variable filplot:
&plot
  filepp(1) =  'num7_2D_CNT250526',
  ...
/
There is a technical reason I don't remember for this behavior.
