Hi all, Being a user of Adobe products, I am use to having a very customizable working environment so that you could easily improve overall workflow and decrease fumbling time. I find myself wanting my productivity to increase when using PyMOL. While I do input a lot of my commands by hand,

Hi all, Another feature that I find myself always wanting is a kill script button and/or command. This comes in handy when I am testing a new python script and, accidentally, throw in an infinite loop. It would be nice to have some sort of kill switch not only for python scripts but even

Hi Jason, I think the number one feature I would like to see is eMovie incorporated into the standard build of PyMOL. The built in movie making facilities in PyMOL may be powerful but the scripting is a bit beyond those of us biologists who use computers especially if one is trying to

Hi Jason, here are two minor improvements: 1) set pdb_mirror option to be able to use a European (EBI) mirror for example. The RCSB mirror is rather slow from Europe. 2) uppercase support for fetch_path; currently only lowercase file names are loaded. Something more challenging: 3) Export

Two items come to mind: 1. A Powerpoint plugin for live Pymol viewing in presentations. 2. A simpler method of doing structure morphs in Pymol. Intelligent morphing is incredibly powerful for visualizing protein conformational changes based on "endpoint" protein structures, or just

PyMOLers, We need to move forward on PyMOL development, so I'm collecting ideas from all our users on what they most want in future versions of PyMOL. We already have a page on the PyMOL wiki for this (http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Ideas) from 2008/2009. We can discuss the ideas here and on
