Hi Philipp,
Usually I just keep track of the EMS config files in my base directory
and more or less ignore the steps/*/config.* copies.
I never mix
experiment.perl -config config.1 -continue 1
and
experiment.perl -continue 1
so I won't run into trouble.
This workflow was totally okay for me so far. I wouldn't be surprised if
many other users do the same.
I agree that it may "cause some unexpected behaviour down the road",
e.g. if the web interface is used in a collaborative environment for
keeping track of experiments. It's gonna display the config from the
steps/ directory, even though that one might have been superseded when
continuing the experiment.
Cheers,
Matthias
