[xcrysden] Missing /.xcrysden folder and mpeg_encode failure

[markus.becker85 at outlook.de]

Dear Tone,

I did create the .xcrysden folder and copied the custom_definitions file into it. In the file itself, I modified the following:

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# xcrysden can use several encoder programs for creating animated GIF
# (convert, gifsicle, whirlgif) and AVI/MPEG movies
# (mencoder/ppmtompeg)
# ------------------------------------------------------------------------

#set xcMisc(gif_encoder)   convert
#set xcMisc(mpeg_encode) /home/Markus/xcrysden-1.6.2-bin-shared/bin/mpeg_encode

where the path is where my mpeg_encode is lying.

However, the Modify-->Animation Controls is still not working.

Do you have any further suggestions?

Thanks and kind regards
Markus

The ~/.xcrysden directory is not created during installation.

Make it manually and copy the custom-definitions file into it (it is
located in the Tcl/ subdirectory of xcrysden; for convenience, it is
also attach here). Then edit it as you find fit.
