Dear gpaw users,

After following the tutorial, the NEB calculation with parallel images runs
correctly. I have a little trouble with restarting the existing NEB
calculations.
Can anyone give me suggestions what exactly needed to read in for this
online example?
I tried something like below but it always fails because some .traj file
will be overwritten and the script will complain about IOError('This is not
a trajectory file!').

    if os.path.exists('neb'+str(i+1)+'.traj'):
        image = read('neb'+str(i+1)+'.traj',index=-1,format='traj')
    else:
        image = initial.copy()

Thanks,

Hongliang
