"0 files written" with gen_bmf.py

[najohink]

Hello,

I was using BulkVis to look at raw signals and wanted to align them to the reference sequence. I saw you comment on Issue#34 indicating the script gen_bmf.py could be utilized.

when I ran this:

(bulkvis) sanjin@LAPTOP-6ESGOMF6:~/bulkvis$ python3 gen_bmf.py -s /mnt/f/D1_sample/sequencing_summary.txt -p /mnt/f/D1_sample/filt_sample.paf --bmf /mnt/f/D1_sample/

I got: "0 files written to /mnt/f/D1_sample"

I noticed the help menu says "a sequencing summary file generated by albacore" and was wondering if this could be this issue since I used a sequencing_summary.txt from Guppy's output.

I also noticed the previous BulkVis required the config.ini file and that the 2.0 no longer does... however, for running gen_bmf.py it says "Specify the output folder, where files will be written as <run_id>.bmf. This should be the 'map' path specified in the config.ini"
If I never made a config.ini file in the 2.0 installation, and cannot find config.ini file in bulkvis or any other folder, does it still matter where i point the path to for the -bmf option?

Thanks for the resource and help, I appreciate all the work that has gone into BulkVis!

best,
S
