Not sure why it didn't show up at sage-support... but anyway, here is an email from Wayne Decatur about this issue. Anyone (Jason?) know if this is something we can take advantage of in our Jmol installation?
Forward: Hi Dox and kcrisman, I saw your post when searching for posts about Jmol for the Proteopedia twitter account. Do you actually need the viewing 'angle' or are you just hoping to be able to open it again in the exact view or send that view to someone? Either way, the recent Jmol versions save that information when you save the state, and in fact you can look at that in the state in the jmol console and save and then reload. The most recent version in fact saves the exact view and data all in png format that you can drag and drop in the application or signed apple. I saw Bob Hanson demonstrate it at UMass a couple weeks ago. It is noted at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg14290.html, although the full majesty of it is not readily apparent from the post. You sort of have to see it to see in action. The goal is to be able to save one file and be able to send it to someone and have them open it with the exact view for which it was saved. But if you don't have the most recent Jmol, look into saving the stare script and pasting it back in and running it.
