Bob,
I am still experiencing the same bug with MacOs X.4, Safari : from your "simple" page, I can't load any local file. Preview works fine, but the final path provided to the applet is not correct (relative to the webpage and not absolute):

FileManager opening http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/Users/paul/Desktop/ 1F58.pdb
file ERROR: http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/Users/paul/Desktop/1F58.pdb
java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/Users/paul/ Desktop/1F58.pdb
openFile(?=1crn): 14076 ms
eval ERROR: java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/ Users/paul/Desktop/1F58.pdb
----line 1 command 1 of  file null:
         load >> "?=1crn" <<

Also, after not having been able to load a file, the applet completely stops working : no more command can be issued...

Oh, I see now that Java on the Mac doesn't allow entry of filenames by keyboard typing in file-open dialog boxes. That's unfortunate.


It boggles my mind why Apple hasn't caught on to the fact that maybe a file-open box could also be used for input from the web. Sure works nicely on the PC.


If someone knows how to coerce Java on the Mac to display a file name entry box, let me know. Othewise I'll have to put up something different for web-based file entry. I suppose it could be added as a separate text box.

Jmol users, good news!

The signed new applet load/save menu items have been checked successfully now on Windows XP/Firefox,MSIE and Mac OS-X/ Safari,Firefox. This is a whole new age for the applet. Specifically the signed applet menu adds these two items near the top:

Load >
   Load PDB
   Load file or URL
   Load full unit cell

Save >
   File [filename here]
   SPT State
   SPT History
   ---
   JPG Image
   PNG Image
   POV-Ray
   ---
   JVXL Isosurface
   VRML 3D Model
   Maya 3D Model

Really these are just scripts that employ the new capability to throw up a file open/save dialog box anyplace in a script where a filename is appropriate. Just prepend the filename with a question mark:

load ?
script ?.spt
write image 500 500 ?1crn.jpg
isosurface "?.jvxl"

In addition,

  load ?

has the interesting capability of allowing Jmol preview of the model prior to full loading -- even of remote web-based models.

It's that simple.

The ? syntax works also in the Jmol application, since the two code segments were merged in the process of development.

As currently implemented, if the user clicks [cancel], then any further script processing within that running script is canceled --- same as a quit command. The logic there is that if a file wasn't loaded, probably one should not continue to the next line of the script.

The revision is 11.6.RC15. You can see it in action at

http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/simple.htm?1blu

(or your choice of any four-digit PDB code)

and

http://Jmol.ProteinExplorer.org

I'm sure there are some interface glitches here, so please check these capabilities out and send your feedback.

I think a reasonable estimate of release of 1.6 should be Oct. 1. If people can get testing on this, I should be able to have a final release candidate soon, and then two weeks of stability testing should do it.

Enjoy!

Bob


ps - It turns out there was a GIF encoder hiding in the Jmol code all along, so I activated that as well. You can now save GIF images, but frankly they look terrible because (I believe) GIF is limited to 256 colors. So I didn't add that possibility to the menu.

OK, I'll check out Mac OS tonight. Not surprised, really.

Bob, this is GREAT !
I specially appreciate that the snapshot taken is with
antialiasdisplay on even if the original image hasn't got this setting.
Would it be possible to add a dialog with the image size as well, if
one wants to increase (or decrease!) the resolution ?

Unfortunately loading models from my hard drive did not work so well,
I ran into a bug with MacOSX 10.4, using Safari with your simple page:

FileManager opening http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/Users/paul/Documents/
1HSW.pdb
file ERROR: http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/Users/paul/Documents/1HSW.pdb
java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/Users/paul/
Documents/1HSW.pdb
openFile(?): 1428 ms
eval ERROR: java.io.FileNotFoundException: http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/
Users/paul/Documents/1HSW.pdb
----line 1 command 1 of  file null:
         load >> "?" <<

This makes clear that the path has gone wrong due to the
concatenation of the actual page base location, with the desired
local file path...
