Hi Troels, The new plugin manager is indeed fantastic. It's a direct result of the PyMOL Open-Source Fellowship Program, which will soon be accepting applications, and the skill of Thomas Holder. Your contribution via the git-repo was valuable as well. For universities and large commercial deployment this plugin system is really nice because you serve all your plugins from one network directory and point every install to that one directory.
I find that I'm using this more and more; and, it's so much nicer to install a script from the PyMOLWIki with just a click of a button instead of opening a new file, pasting the code, fixing the tabs/spacing, and then forgetting where you put the file. When I have time, I'll make a video and post it on YouTube alongside the volumes video I made awhile back: there are a few non prima facie apparent hints you should know. If anyone is interested in depositing their own scripts please see the link Troels posted: http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php/Git_authors. If that's too complicated, you can also just email your script to pymol-scri...@schrodinger.com. If you do that, please provide the following details so you get credit for your work: Name: Name of Script Authors: Name(s) of Author(s) License: The open-source license of your choosing Requires Citation: YES/NO -- if YES then the plugin will warn the user before use that published results require a citation Version: (optional) version number As you stated it's already in the open-source, and will be available to Incentive PyMOL users with our next release (planned to be out in a few weeks).
