[aspect-devel] Question on tracers output

[FELIPE ORELLANA ROVIROSA]

 Hi Wolfgang,

   Thanks for the answer,

    Sure, I guess transferring in not a problem, I should not have written
that.

    It gets messy when you wanna play, delete, or move particle files
(vtus).

   for example if I wanna select all the solution (grouped) files that end
in 2, I simply do:  ls solution-00*2.*

  but for the particle vtu files this needs and extra level:

   ls particles-00*2.*.*

 I sometimes need to do these things for example when the I chose an output
interval that unfortunately was too short (say less than..50 time steps),
so there are too many output files.. (I sometimes discover that after 12
hours of running)

Whatever, maybe there is a real good use to the individual vtu files. But,
as a suggestion, consider adding the grouping option for particle files in
future Aspect versions.

cheers, and thank you.
Felipe
