I faced a peculiar problem with MultiWfn.
I had to analyze the output of two tddft calculations.
I have used the following sequence of inputs:
outfile1
18
15
n
0
r
outfile2
18
15
n
0
q
The results printed on the screen for the second analysis (outfile2) was same as that obtained for outfile1.
It appears that the program is not resetting the parameters while loading a new output file using the command 'r'.
I had faced the same problem on using batch method with the above sequence of input.
Both the tddft output files were generated as suggested.

Dear Justin,
I didn't find this problem at least for latest version on Multiwfn website, an example is shown below, it can be seen that the printed information are different for the two files. Please updated to latest version and check if this problem no longer exists.
Best regards,

yes Prof. Lu. I was using Multiwfn 3.7. Now I installed 3.8 dev. It is working fine in that.
Thanks.
