[xcrysden] A few issues with Xcrysden

Dear Bo,

A temporary solution for the second problem - because I experience the same thing on Cygwin with full X11 package installed - is to use your mouse scroll to zoom in/out and your structure will reaper.

Subject: [xcrysden] A few issues with Xcrysden
 

Dear developers,

I'm trying to use xcrysden installed on the computer cluster maintained by the university, however, I've met some issues that even the staff cannot help me with, so I'm trying to ask for help here:

1. when I use Xcrysden 1.4.1 to import charge density from quantum espresso output, after loading the XSF, I do Tools -> Data Grid, however, there is no OK button on the bottom of the popped-up DataGrid panel, so there is no way I can proceed from there to make the isosurface of charge density, so I try to switch to 1.5.53

2. when I use Xcrysden 1.5.53, After I opened xcrysden, I can see all the menu, tools panel items and the bottom tool panels. However, the problem is that the actual panel for molecule display is not working -- it feels like it's not refreshing. For instance, if I do File -> Open structure --> Open XSF --> choose file, then all these drop menus and dialogue windows will remain and overlap in the order they showed up and no molecule is displayed in the end. I thought it may be just laggy, but if I leave it there for hours and come back, it is still the same. Interestingly, for 1.4.1, at least I don't have such issue at all. I have attached a screen shot to this email.

I used putty for SSH, used Xming for X11 client and the X11 setup works for all of my other programs. The host is a unix computer cluster. The client system is windows 7 and had firewall turned off. I actually tried on several different computers with win 7 and winXP, same observation. Strangely, the cluster staff actually didn't have my observed issues at all when he has exactly the same client setups as I have and he tried all he could but I still couldn't get this working ...

Could you please let me know any possible solutions?

Thanks a lot,
Bo
