This bug may not be worth fixing since it is specific to OS X, and may
be a bug in Java.
Using either the Java applet, or the Jmol application, the command
write "test.pngj"
saves a file that contains the atomic coordinates and the state of Jmol.
In *Windows*, dragging this PNGJ file into the Jmol *application*, or
into the *applet* (tested in IE11 and Firefox), loads the molecule
contained in the PNGJ file and renders it exactly as when the file was
saved, after which it can be rotated etc. in Jmol. AMAZING!
In *OS X*, dropping the PNGJ into the application *works* PROVIDED the
application happens to have *exactly the same pixel height and width* as
the image (which is the size of the Jmol from which it was saved).
If the recipient Jmol application has a *different size*, an "Input"
dialog opens asking to confirm changing the size of Jmol (or you can
specify different height and width values). In Windows, this sizing
dialog works. In OS X, once that "Input" dialog opens, *Jmol hangs* and
has to be forced to quit by the system.
(For Windows, a size mismatch between the applet and the PNGJ doesn't
matter. The molecule renders in the size of the applet without asking.)
In *OS X*, dropping the PNGJ file into the *applet* does not load it
into the applet. Rather, it displays the image in the PNGJ file (in
Firefox) or the drop fails (in Safari).
Tested in OS X Yosemite and Windows 7, with Java 1.8.0_65 in both.
Tested with the applet at http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/jsmol/jsmol.htm
which is Jmol 2015.10.17 and the matched version of the application
Jmol.jar.
