Question about GBFF output reporting all 0 annotations (vs. txt and gff3 file)

[patriciatran]

Hello,

I am running bakta v.1.10.2 this way:

$1 = samplename
bakta --db /path/hidden/db \
        $1_assembly.fasta \
        --output bakta_$1 \
        --threads 8

It outputs all the files, but I have a question about the gbff output file.

Could you explain why there is a discrepancy in the reported annotations being 0 in the gbff file vs the .txt and the gff3 file?
I am comparing this with a bakta output from another analysis ran in the past using a previous version:

Current output:
The gbff file looks like this:

Comparing with output from a previous run with another bakta version.
Note: Ignore the actual numbers, this is not ran on the same genome. Just pasting an output here for example purposes.

Thank you in advance for your explanation.

no problem. I close this and focus on the other one.
