Is there a problem with prefix in saving and loading a mae?

[asiyeka]

Hello. I noticed when I save my mae file using saveHDF5MultiAssayExperimen and a prefix such as "test_", if I use the same prefix while using loadHDF5MultiAssayExperiment, it gives the error below:

Error in HDF5Array::stop_if_bad_dir(dir, prefix) :
Directory "h5_mae" does not seem to contain an HDF5-based
SummarizedExperiment object previously saved with
saveHDF5SummarizedExperiment(..., prefix="test__"). Make sure you're
using the same 'prefix' that was used when the object was saved.

basically it's adding a "_" to my prefix before it searches for my file. I solved it by using loadHDF5MultiAssayExperiment(dir = "h5_mae", prefix= "test"). But shouldn't we use the same prefix value in both functions?

Hi Asiye, @asiyeka
Thank you for pointing this out. I don't remember how this incongruence came about.
I've made a change to make these consistent.
