We are almost there! I think I made some work for the translators, but in
general we have an amazing signed applet. Here's the scoop:
Basically the signed applet and the application now allow you to script
user-prompted file input and saving. All you do is use a question mark in
the script:
load ?
script ?.spt
write file ?
write ?.jpg
write ?.png
write POVRAY ?
The question mark indicates that Jmol should put up a dialog box that allows
you do browse your file system. There are three basic dialogs -- file open,
file save, and image write. These are all slightly different -- open has the
very cool preview capability of the Jmol application; save is a standard
save dialog, with confirmation if this will overwrite a file, and image
write has extra controls for quality of JPG and PNG images.
This works anywhere a file name might be used. For example:
isosurface "?.jvxl"
lets you choose which surface to display if there are several.
In addition, the file open dialog box has a special feature you will really
like: You can use it to point to files on your hard drive, of course, but
also you can enter a URL there to get a file off the web, and you can enter
the abbreviated form =xxxx to get a PDB file directly from the Protein Data
Bank.
There are some threading issues there. I might need help from Charles and
Nico on that....
