When I create multiple timetables, FET doesn't write the highest stage state. And it would be nice, when into the random_seed file would write the highest stage, when the generation interrupted.

i am not sure if that is possible. let's wait for livius answer.

i am note sure if that is a good idea:
1. the file is named "random_seed", so i expect only "random_seed" in that file. so if we rename the file in maybe "information" or something like that we can add more information.
2. currently i am not sure why the user need that information.
3. even if we add that information, then he information is incomplete in my opinion. because we didn't add the number of calculations (time). so this information "random seed" will always change.
4. also not possible, because: the random seed is (only) known at the beginning. that is the reason why that file is written as soon as you start calculation. but the highest number of placed activities always change (or is known only after you stopped, or better: after fet stopped).
The informations about generations can be write to another file, e.g. filename-information.txt.
Generate multiple is supposed to be done if your file is checked by generate single. That is why I didn't care about more aspects in generate multiple. There is also not too much space in generate multiple for more options.
You could get the random seed of each timetable and generate single and see highest stage.
