Hi all,
I'm working on a plugin that reads information appended to the end of
PDB files to draw CGO objects. Right now, I have the user specify
the filesystem path to the currently loaded objects through the
plugin GUI so that I know where to go to find the file. For one
object, this isn't so bad. But if users load multiple objects that
are in different directories, I will have to change the GUI so that
the user has to specify the path to each object loaded. This kind of
situation would quickly become tedious. Does PyMOL store the paths
for objects that are loaded somewhere? I know I can get the current
working directory using getcwd(), so I'm hoping there's a way to get
the path to the loaded objects as well.
I've searched all over the Wiki and the mailing list archives and I
haven't been able to find anything relevant. I also looked through
importing.py but all I saw was cmd.exp_path() and it doesn't seem to
me like the full path that's returned is being stored anywhere.
Perhaps in the C layers it gets saved somewhere?
Thanks for any help,
-Ron
