I would be a fan of auto_show_cartoon. Also, if you set more than one of these, it will auto show more th one representation. Coolness.
If anyone is curious, I just figured out what auto_show_selections appears to do (it is on by default), so I'll try to document that tomorrow.

My primary purpose would be for pses, but you might as well pick up pdbs and other formats supported by pymol along the way. For pdb files, I wouldn't want the default pymol view of lines colored by atom with green carbons being what I quicklook to, so either reading .pymolrc to get a default view or some variant ( .pymolqlrc ?) would be nice to allow users to customize their views. Also, maybe default to a cartoon representation colored by chains with het atoms as sticks and metals as spheres, but that's probably just forcing the view I want on others when I could just stick that in my personal .pymolqlrc type file. Well, reading through the source today, I found a couple settings that few know about--and I might add more similar settings: auto_show_lines == show a newly loaded object with lines representation? auto_show_spheres == show a newly loaded object with spheres representation? auto_show_nonbonded == show newly loaded non-bonded? If these are considered useful, I can add others like: auto_show_cartoon(s) # example set auto_show_spheres fetch 1cll This offers some more flexibility for the user to choose lines or other default representation.
