Hi Nat,
I tried what you suggested (dragging my ss restraints file into the
input area), and it does not seem to be working (i.e. my edited
restraints do not show up; also the filename never appears in the box).
I tried changing the fsuix to .eff or .def or .txt, none worked. If
instead I drag my restraints file onto the phenix.refine icon, I get a
warning about 'this application does not support the filetype ...'.
I assume that as usual I am doing something wrong. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Luke
