Paulo, Thank you for the simple and helpful suggestion -- this is exactly the kind of input that can enable us to improve the software with a trivial amount of effort on everyone's part.
PyMOL will now issue a warning if you save a PDB file using an extension it does not recognize. Cheers, Warren -- Warren L. DeLano, Ph.D. Principal Scientist .
