Hello,
When running hoomd 4.2.1, dumping gsd files and viewing them with ovito 3.9.2, I find that gsd files have no frames in them until my hoomd script has completely finished. In prior times (using hoomd 2.9) the frames would be written incrementally as the simulation progressed. This was nice from my point of view, as it allowed me to peek in at the progress during debug runs.
So my questions are:
1. What causes the new behavior? Is hoomd saving *all* frames in a buffer before writing (this seems like a problem)?
2. Is there any way to recover the old behavior, forcing more often writes-to-disk?
I am creating the writer in mode 'wb', for reference.
Thanks
