Hello, Just a side note regarding the location of coot’s configuration files.
Better yet would be to follow the XDG Base Directory Specification: https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html In short, it recommends that you store the coot config directory under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME if it is set, or under $HOME/.config otherwise (the specification of course leaves it up to you how you want to organize the directory structure under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/coot). Most desktop programs on Linux now seem to follow this convention, and it’s actually nice to have one’s home directory more cleanly organized.

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