Well, before I figured it out, I was surprised - pleasantly! It turned
unpleasant only later :)
Yes, it was the Get Monomer dialog, but would apply to the "Search
Monomer Lib" as well.

What I read when I select from the menu is the menu label, not the
manual. Yes, *now* I know it should take 30 seconds :)
I suggest a little radio-button to select between "re-generate fresh
from library" and "use existing in working dir" or something like that.
I don't mind what the feature does, only not knowing about it :)
Hi Frank,
[After sleeping on it]
Like good software, Coot has pretensions of being able to be used
without reading the manual. The naive user will not expect to wait
for libcheck to run (there is no progress bar, for example) and will
not be surprised when things appear instantaneously ("that's the way
things should happen, right? - its a GUI program") and will not read
or check the console where the libcheck/refmac is run (or not).
I take you points on board completely. I will add the interface you
suggest (for the record, it will not be straightforward to do so).
Oh, I presume that we are talking about "Get Monomer"? ("Search
Monomer Library" only partially uses the same underlying code and will
have to be modified differently.)
Thanks,
Paul.
