Summary: ChimeraX bug report submission → Read EMAN HDF5: file signature not found

comment:2 by Tom Goddard, 3 weeks ago

Resolution: → nonchimerax
Status: assigned → closed

Unfortunately the user is trying to open a ChimeraX session file that references an HDF5 file that is corrupted, and the HDF5 reader is throwing this error. The Tables hdf5 python library is raising

tables.exceptions.HDF5ExtError

I could catch that error, warn that the hdf5 file is corrupted, and allow the rest of the ChimeraX session to load. I've seen this error reported a few times, but not enough that I've been willing to put in this error handling. If I get more reports or a report where the user provides an email address I can add this error handling.
