Avogadro does not open an .out file from ORCA #1689
Comments
Thanks for opening your first issue here! Please try to include example files and screenshots if possible. If you're looking for support, please post on our forum: https://discuss.avogadro.cc/ |
We can't debug the problem if you can't share the output file. |
Oh sorry about that, but it basically fails for all output files. How do I send the output file though? It says this file type is not supported (to be sent in a comment). |
You can change the extension to .txt or zip it. |
Oh, one other question - can you please check a nightly build to see if that fixes your problem: https://two.avogadro.cc - several import/export bugs have been fixed since 1.99 |
I don't think I've seen the same bug from the forum, unfortunately. This is an example of an output file that I can't open. |
This one's going to be tricky. The output file is UTF-16. So far most of the code for reading files is based on UTF-8 files. Do you know how / why this was created like this? |
Hi Sir, I have no idea why the output is coded in such a way. However, I found a viable solution: to encode the output with ASCII, and it works perfectly fine. So I now wonder whether there is a way to directly encode the output in ASCII or UTF-8 format? |
I'd need to ask on the ORCA forum as far as the output. But you can try something like this to convert files on Windows: https://superuser.com/a/1786510 |
