Category: Interface Improvements Group: None Status: Open Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Andriy Zhugayevych (azh4) Assigned to: Bob Hanson (hansonr) Summary: save settings on exit Initial Comment: Most of GUI-equipped programs save their settings on exit (e.g. color or rendering scheme). May we have such feature in Jmol application? More specifically two commands need to be implemented: 1) enable/disable "Save settings on exit", 2) "Restore default settings". Additionally it would be convenient to have the fast route to load the frequently used user scripts (for example to change program settings). This feature can be included into existing "Open" command by adding the link to some fixed user folder where the user can keep its scripts. However I would add additional button. This feature would mimic Style Manager in Mercury program. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Angel Herraez (aherraez) Date: 2012-02-07 00:53 Message: I think this is arguable. DIfferent structures will need totally different "styles", I don't see it clear that any preference will be applicable to everything. Anyway, there is the "macro" feature taht you can use to quickly set your styles. Maybe that suits yor needs. And there is indeed a user fiolder (precisely where thiose macros are put). http://wiki.jmol.org/index.php/Macro ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Bob Hanson (hansonr) Date: 2012-02-06 17:18 Message: That's a tough one. Clearly you can save whatever styles you want if you know a bit of scripting, but you want it to be more accessible than that, I think. The problem is that styles for atoms and bonds, labels, unit cells, and axes are all reset after a model is loaded. They aren't program-session specific. The only exception to that is when you color an element. That one carries over between models. Edit...Preferences allows some of this -- you can set preferences for atoms and bonds at least. So I suppose we could add a few more options to that. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Andriy Zhugayevych (azh4) Date: 2012-02-06 17:02 Message: 1) Style/Labels 2) Color/Labels 3) Color/Background 4) Style/Unit cell, Style/Axes 5) Style/Scheme Also I would save "Style/Atoms/Show hydrogens" but this may puzzle unexperienced users. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Jonathan Gutow (gutow) Date: 2012-02-06 14:33 Message: Please make a specific list of what you would like saved. Jmol does save many settings such as window position and such. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=379136&aid=3485099&group_id=23629 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep Your Developer Skills Current with LearnDevNow!
