Picongpu: unrecognised Stop moving window

[StevE-Ong]

Hi, I am running a simulation with the following option in cfg file:
```TBG_gridSize="256 2048"
TBG_steps="34000"
TBG_periodic="--periodic 1 0"

leave TBG_movingWindow empty to disable moving window

TBG_movingWindow="-m"

stop the moving window after given simulation step

TBG_stopWindow="--stopWindow 31500"

and

TBG_programParams="-d !TBG_deviceDist \
-g !TBG_gridSize \
-s !TBG_steps \
!TBG_movingWindow \
!TBG_stopWindow \
!TBG_periodic \
!TBG_plugins \
--versionOnce"

However I obtain the following error:

unrecognised option '--stopWindow'
unrecognised option '--stopWindow'
unrecognised option '--stopWindow'
unrecognised option '--stopWindow'
unrecognised option '--stopWindow'
unrecognised option '--stopWindow'
unrecognised option '--stopWindow'
unrecognised option '--stopWindow'
srun: error: gpu36: tasks 2-3: Exited with exit code 1
srun: Terminating job step 793284.1
```
Is there something wrong with my setting? Thanks

@StevE-Ong Are you using the dev branch of PIConGPU or are you running on one of the
releases? Only the devbranch support the --stopWindow command line flag.

This feature was introduced with: #2792

[StevE-Ong]

@PrometheusPi I am running on the releases...version 4 is I remember correctly.

Then, this option is not (yet) available. (I assume you mean version 0.4.x.)

@StevE-Ong yes, then unfortunately this is not available. In case you really need it, there are two possibilities to get it. First, switch to the dev branch, but please note that this might require some changes in your .param files. Alternatively, you can try to manually put changes of the #2792 pull request to your version of the code. In case there are no conflicts (I do not know at the moment), the latter should be relatively straightforward.

[PrometheusPi]

If you are using 0.4.3/the current master (and probably even versions before) just cherry pick the commit from #2714 into your branch via:

git cherry-pick 7ed821ae48dafbb74e8b87480ceb2c28af44eee1

You should have checked out the current dev locally, so that the commit can be found by git. But please apply it only to your currently used brach.

I just tested it locally and it worked without any conflicts.

Thanks @sbastrakov and @PrometheusPi. I would figure out later on.
