Creating a .fet file from .html generated by fet-cl

[corra]

Dear All,

Thank you for this great piece of software, it is helping me a lot to create timetable for my department. I have found that running fet-cl may be much quicker than fet and also can be run in a Linux screen without opening X-window. My problem is that once I have generated the html solution I may need to work in FET to block all activities I like and try a different solution for the others. How can I get this? Apparently I can only import csv (even though I have never tried) but not html. If instead I generate the timetable with FET I can block whatever I like easily.

Thank you and best regards,

Corrado

Hello, Corrado,

Thank you for the appreciation!

There is a locked fet file in the results. You can open it and unlock some activities and then regenerate.

I have found that running fet-cl may be much quicker than fet.

Did you used both times the same seed? If you forgot to care about the seed, then it was just luck that fet-cl was faster. Next time fet gui will be faster.
In normal case you won't notice a difference between the speed of fet and fet-cl. You might notice a (small) difference in very special cases. (for example if you open fet-gui 100 times instead of opening it only one time an run multiple at once. Or if your dataset exactly fills the cache size if you use fet-cl and fet gui need a bit more space.
But in normal case you won't notice a difference. Please try again, but use the same seed in fet and fet-cl.

Thanks for the explanation. Anyway, it is useful to run in background in Linux.
