Description
This example shows that when once run with e.g. LHE event formats, and then rerun and generating HepMC output, event transforms are not applied. (are they missing the .evx file?)

WK, could you maybe already comment on this? I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a feature?

I think the problem is that WHIZARD doesn't really know about full events, and it is not designed (yet) as an analyzer of those. I don't see an easy way to transform a full event from file into the internal format with its staged set of event transforms, such that it looks like an event generated by WHIZARD. Ultimately, WHIZARD should handle dressed events from any source seamlessly, but this requires rethinking some basic concepts.
The .evx files are complete (once #627 is fixed), and that's why the user should keep them. Other event formats, LHE in particular, don't allow for reconstructing all event data.
So, for now I'd leave this for the documentation, see #663.
hm, ok, using --rebuild-events does the correct job.
