I think he means for you to have a "Load" button as part of your plugin. That button would first record the path to the file and then call through to cmd.load().

I'm not sure I fully understand your suggestion. It sounds to me like what you're saying is that I should add code (e.g. a dictionary) to the importing.py load() function which saves the file information of objects as they're loaded. But then instead of just distributing my plugin, I would have to get users to change their PyMOL source, as well (which I'm not willing to do). Am I understanding correctly?
