binsanity-checkm created in current working directory

[donovan-h-parks]

Hello,

I'm using BinSanity v0.2.5.9 and have encountered a small issue. When running the program it creates the directory 'binsanity-checkm' in the current working directory. As a consequence, if another instance o f BinSanity is run in the same directory it will fail as this directory will already exist. Would it be possible to give this directory a unique/temporary name in order to avoid this conflict? I often run binning methods in parallel over multiple independent samples so this situation is problematic.

Thanks,
Donovan

Hi Donovan,

I updated Binsanity-wf and Binsanity-lc with a new flag to make running things in paralell in the same directory possible. There is now a --Prefix flag that can be invoked and whatever prefix you specify will be appended to the all of the directories, logfiles, etc. that BinSanity produces throughout.
