Hello Michelle, You can also edit the SetEditor.py file. The file is in the '/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/pmg_tk' directory on linux and add the feature. It can be done by adding to small portion of add-on code to the file. If you do so:
Keep a copy of the original file in a safe place ! Here is a part of the modified file: ####################################### class SetEditor: def __init__(self,app): self.app = app self.list = [] for a in pymol.setting.get_index_list(): self.list.append("%-30s %s"%(pymol.setting._get_name(a), cmd.get_setting_text(a,'',-1))) self.index = {} c = 0 for a in pymol.setting.get_name_list(): self.index[a] = c c = c + 1 self.dialog = Pmw.SelectionDialog(self.app.root,title="Settings", buttons = ('Edit', 'Done'), defaultbutton='Edit', scrolledlist_labelpos=N, label_text='Double click to edit', scrolledlist_items = self.list, command = self.command) self.dialog.geometry("500x400") # start of the add-on interior = self.dialog.interior() self.filter = Pmw.EntryField(interior, labelpos = 'w', label_text= 'Filter:', validate = None, command = self.filter_list) self.filter.pack() # end of the add-on self.listbox = self.dialog.component('scrolledlist') self.listbox.component('listbox').configure(font=app.my_fw_font) self.dialog.protocol('WM_DELETE_WINDOW',self.cancel) app.my_show(self.dialog) # start of the add-on def filter_list(self): self.list = [] for a in pymol.setting.get_index_list(): if self.filter.getvalue() in pymol.setting._get_name(a): self.list.append("%-30s %s"%(pymol.setting._get_name(a), cmd.get_setting_text(a,'',-1))) self.dialog.setlist(self.list) self.dialog.update() # end of the add-on def cancel(self,event=None): self.command(result='Done') ####################################### This code works fine on my linux box. If you have some problem, don't hesitate to ask me !
