Replying to [comment:3 gutow]:
> I haven't done anything to the way Jmol is set up, although somebody
else might have. The error actually looks like the errors associated with
Jmol running in a web page and directly accessing local resources without
a server. In that case all files accessed must be below Jmol in the
directory tree to satisfy Java security requirements. Another possibility
is that somebody has changed the way files are created in the notebook and
Jmol can no longer find the files.
The permissions in the worksheet directories haven't changed. They are the
same as the worksheets from two years ago.
> A third possibility relates to MacOS and Windows having become so Java
in browsers unfriendly that they mess up file access as well. A pure
javascript (although slower) alternative is in the works to deal with the
Java in browsers problem.
All these problems were replicated on Linux - Debian-6 and Gentoo, both
64bits. Also, the bug was found with sage-5.2 + new notebook + new jmol,
and not with vanilla sage-5.2. sage-5.4 onwards already have the new
notebook and jmol and so all of them exhibit this bug.
> Unfortunately, I do not have time to look at this particular problem in
detail now. Maybe later this week.
There is no immediate rush. I have held up the upgrade for two months now
and have been able to pinpoint the (hopefully) exact reason only now. Just
wanted to bring this bug to your attention.
