Hi, I am also quite interested in that.

As far as I know user defined variables or functions (from jmolscript) are not saved within the Jmol state. The idea I have in the back of my mind is to use a file format Jmol understands and have my data (your private state) piggybacking in that file. May be as a comment in some file or in a jmol script file. Though I have not tried anything yet. I would welcome a solution supported by Jmol itself. > (I can imagine the user saving the PNGJ .png file to (say) a Google > Drive repository.) > > Can I get the PNGJ output as as a JSON object to save in browser’s > localStorage and use with a Jmol script “load …”? > (I can imagine using the browser’s localStorage as a way for the user > to pick up working on something that hadn’t yet been saved to (say) > the Google Drive repository. > Apparently you can save blobs in localStorage [1]. YOu can of course also save your private state in localStorage along side of the PNGJ but then you do not have everything in a self-contained file.
