Steffen,
Thank you for the new patch! I’ll let you know if we have any questions.
is there any update on this? Is there anything I can do to help?
Yes, there is.
On Friday, March 27, we reviewed the patch and concluded that we cannot accept
it as it is. Applications that rely on the current behavior will be broken.
Would you like to have a telecon with us to discuss the issue and see how we
can move forward with the fix? We really appreciate your effort and would like
to resolve the issue.
A teleconference would be a possibility, but as I'm living in Europe
there might be some problems scheduling it.
If you want to avoid changing the behavior for existing applications, I
can update the patch to:
- Add a new dataset access property which controls how resolving
external files behaves (relative to current directory or relative to
HDF5 file, plus maybe an option to disable resolving external files
completely)
- The new property would default to the current behavior (relative to
current directory)
- Add an environment variable to override the default behavior
Best regards,
Steffen Kieß
