[xcrysden] Cannot show multiple frame in out file

I think I met the same problem some time ago. It comes from the fact that xcrysden checks the string of the PWscf version and, if it thinks that the version is an old one, it calls a different script to read the output file. Now, the problem is with the "a" in 4.3a which makes xcrysden think that's an old version. 
If this is your problem you can solve it by commenting the calls to
    pwoCheckPWSCFVersion $option $input
in scripts/pwo2xsf.sh

Have fun with XCrysden! I also think it has very nice features.

Best regards,


GS
