#147 (version 0.5.6) --clear option of pyFoamDecompose does not work

[code-red]

When I decompose a case and try to decompose this case again with a different number of processes using the --clear option, I get an error message (see additional information).

pyFoamDecompose.py . 4
pyFoamDecompose.py --clear . 6

It seems that the pyFoamDecompose calls decomposePar without the --force option.

Happens that I fixed this problem a couple of weeks ago on my development copy.

Uploaded a patch with the fix. Try to apply the patch with

patch -p0 <DecomposerClear.patch

(you have to be in the right directory for this to work) and report. If it works I'll close the bug. The fix will be in the next release anyway
