SOLVED: leginon on Microscope PC wants an image directory -- what should it be?
Added by Patrick Goetz almost 7 years ago
When I run start-leginon.py on our Microscope PC I get
Error: image path is not writeable: /cryodata/leginon
Yes, of course, because I just copied the leginon.cfg file from the linux system to Windows. Is there some particular folder name/location to use for this on the Windows box, or can I just define it to be anything, and do I need to use the Windows path syntax to designate it? E.g.
[Images] path: C:\leginon\images

In the real data collection or calibration, you will almost never configure your system to write onto the microscope computer, therefore, this is not a meaningful error.
I sometimes change leginon.cfg on the microscope and camera pc to
[Images] path /Dont_worry_about_this_error_message
In the case you do actually use this config to save data, you still write it in unix format because all cases we have seen it used is using a unix file system mounted on windows. The programs that access the data later are all on linex and when searching the path in the database.

Thank you; will just set it to C:\temp to avoid seeing it at all.
