Description

In GitLab by @jc-hunink on Mar 15, 2023, 14:35

The current function read_ipf reads automatically the associated (TXT) files when indexcol > 1. For only changing or selection of the data in the ipf reading of all associated files is not necessary. Can this be an optional argument?

Research direction

Start at the read_ipf function and trace how indexcol controls loading associated TXT files. Add an optional way to skip those files while preserving the current behavior by default, then verify that IPF data can still be selected or changed without reading the associated files.
