I tried both ways (coot.py and .coot) and only the latter worked for me.

that should be .coot.py - presumably that's what you meant (but if not, it would explain why it didn't work)

Yes. I took out the . to inactivate the file when I saw it didn't work.





.coot-preferences is a directory and its contents should not be edited by the user.

You'd think so, wouldn't you? I made a mistake about this directory years ago and have regretted it since.

Future Coots will have:

$HOME/.coot/

       preferences/               # these are scripts written by Coot

       startup-scripts/           # these are scripts that you write

I thought I had read this recommendation somewhere in your documentation.

If you do change the directory structure, I hope the first Coot version to implement it will migrate the old structure to the new one...



Both .coot and coot.py should reside in the user's home directory.

.coot.py yes.

For me, .coot in $HOME also works.




Paul.
