Error message too informal

Issue #346 closed
Robert Leach created an issue

USE CASE: WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO?

See a more informative error message after clustering when a problem was detected.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE AN ISSUE (OR TRIGGER A NEW FEATURE)

  1. open small_133x133.cdt
  2. cluster with the default options

CURRENT BEHAVIOR

An error window pops up that says "There seems to be a mismatch between your GTR and CDT files. Ditching gene Tree, since it's lame."

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR

An error message with information regarding the name of the output file and which reflects the generalization of genes to rows and arrays to columns, along with a gentle suggestion that the user delete the problem file, something like:

"There seems to be a mismatch between the row cluster data in the small_133x133.gtr and small_133x133.cdt files. Creating new files: small_133x133_average_6.gtr and small_133x133_average_6.cdt to correct the problem. If the cluster results are satisfactory, please remove the originals."

or something to that effect.
