Charles, Simply awesome! It works great on Windows and Mac too...
Folks, I think we've finally hit on a workable paradigm for extending PyMOL's capabilities via these lightweight, end-user-installable plugins. You have my full encouragement -- go crazy with this stuff! This grass-roots user-driven development is exactly what PyMOL was supposed to enable... To help the sharing process along, I've created a new plugins page on the SourceForge site and welcome your submissions. http://pymol.sf.net/plugins.html I can already see that we'll need a user-friendly "Install Plugin..." menu item in the next release that will automatically copy plugin files to the correct location. In the meantime, installation directions can be found on that page... Provided that plugins are released under a suitable (non-viral) open-source license, I don't see any reason why good ones couldn't become part of the standard PyMOL distribution, which would of course save users the trouble of having to download and install them.
