 ==== Restrictions ==== ==== Restrictions ====
  
-  * Printing of eigenvalues per k-point / band structures is not yet implemented 
-  * Restarting calculations is not available 
   * Propagation of the wavefunctions/density is not implemented (so [[inp>FORCE_EVAL/DFT/QS.html#EXTRAPOLATION|EXTRAPOLATION]] should be USE_GUESS )   * Propagation of the wavefunctions/density is not implemented (so [[inp>FORCE_EVAL/DFT/QS.html#EXTRAPOLATION|EXTRAPOLATION]] should be USE_GUESS )
   * MO derivatives are not available - i.e. OT with k-points is not supported, only DIAGONALIZATION.   * MO derivatives are not available - i.e. OT with k-points is not supported, only DIAGONALIZATION.
 +  * Only FULL_GRIDs of kpoints may be used, no reduction due to symmetry is supported.
