How can I change the name of the sub-directory where my output files are stored?

If you have used the ./Install.bash script, you should find a file in the top-level directory called `SessionSettings.bash'. It is actually a symbolic link:

lachele@computer:/path/to/GLYCAM_Delegator_Docker
$ ls -l SessionSettings.bash 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 lachele lachele 31 Dec  3 18:55 SessionSettings.bash -> deps/share/SessionSettings.bash

For this purpose, the fact that it is a link doesn't matter. Just be sure not to change it from being that link!

Edit the file using the text editor of your choice (the link will act the same as the file!). Assuming you want your directory named My_Project, then add this line to the file:

export OUT_SUBDIR="My_Project"

If you have an existing subdirectory, you can change the name directly to match.

Why you might want to do this

In some utilities, notably Generate_Glycan_PDBs_From_Sequence_List, existing output is not built again. By default, the utilities herein name each output folder by the date and time generated. In that case, the existing output will not be found. So, changing the directory name to something stable enables that feature.
