I posted an "insert crystal" feature to give Avogadro a crystal library of common structures, much like the molecular fragment database.
I'm now re-thinking the UI aspect of this. Right now, the patch adds a command to Build->Insert->Crystal right below the molecular fragments. In some sense, that isn't consistent because we add molecular fragments to "grow" a molecule. The crystal library mostly replaces the current system. So I'm wondering if we should add a command under File->Import to read from the crystal library? Should I do the same thing for the molecular fragment database? This would save a few clicks for people looking to do simulations on common molecules: instead of creating a new file, and inserting a fragment, they can also import the molecule directly. The dialog box would look identical, but it would be a different (more intuitive) way to find it?
