Selecting a Checkpoint File

Selecting a checkpoint file

When D3PLOT is restarted after a crash, it automatically detects any checkpoint files in the current directory (or, if this is read-only, in $HOME or $TMP). These are displayed at startup in the special Checkpoint Files panel:

All checkpoint files found are listed in date/time order, with the most recent file at the top of the list. To use a checkpoint file:

• Select the file to run by clicking on its row.
• Optionally delete some or all files using the DELETE > option.
• Optionally reduce the " #commands to execute " to a smaller value, perhaps to omit the last command(s) which caused a crash.
• Click on APPLY to run the file.

In this example the user has selected the oldest file and is about to delete the remainder using the DELETE > ALL_BUT_SELECTED option.

If you want to ignore all checkpoint files and run interactively just DISMISS this panel.
