Dear Maintainer,

when opening one of the standard input file formats (SPECS .xy file), the
energy (x-) axis gets reversed:

If the input file is in binding energy, the x-axis is not taken as-is, but the
photon energy is subtracted, which reverses the axis. It does work properly, if
the input file has the x-axis as kinetic energy. So probably, the parameter
"Kinetic Energy Axis: yes/no" in the header is ignored.

This is a regression from the version 0.9.8-3 in Wheezy, where the import of
spectra with binding energy axis ("Kinetic Energy Axis: no") worked properly.

In the attached file "example.xy", the displayed x-axis should be from 119.87
to 139.87, and not 1340-1360 range.

Regards,

Matthias

Hi Matthias,
support for this file format is relatively new, previously it was read
as generic data file.
Actually the files are read in xylib library, which is a separate
package in debian, but it's better to file a bug report upstream:
https://github.com/wojdyr/xylib/

As a workaround you may open specs file from the input line with
explicit "text" format:
@+ <'/run/mw/example.xy' text

Thanks for reporting it, I'll pass it to Matthias Richter who knows
more than me about this format
