The way that lightdock-rust currently reads and writes files is a little confusing. Because swarms writes to the current directory by default, you either have to copy the structure files into every swarm directory, which seems inefficient, or you have to cd into every directory and refer to the structure and settings files using dotted relative paths. The change means that instead of doing this:
You can just do this:
You can also run this in parallel, because each process will be writing to a different directory and the file names will not clobber each other. It does this by extracting the swarm id from the initial_positions_number.dat filename, and using this as the directory name to write the gso_number.out files.
Let me know what you think.
