BUG: changeDictionary adds non-existing patches

changeDictionary should modify boundary file only if there exists any patch/patchGroup etc...

pitzDaily.tgz

This issue is predominately seen in v3.0+ when SHM removed zero sized patches, and changeDictionary re-introduces them with missing entries for "startFace" and "nFaces"!

So we do not want changeDictionary to be able to add patches? Just making sure. Guess that createPatches is the tool for that.

changeDictionary.C

Attached a version that does not add to the boundary file.

• do you want a warning?
• are there any testcases that rely on changeDictionary adding boundaries? Maybe to add procBoundary* etc.?
• what about wildcards. No problem. Is not allowed in a boundary file.

It works.

A warning would help.
