Dear Paul + friends,
Would it be possible to place in the (top right?) corner of the main
screen (or elsewhere) an indicator telling the user what type of
restraints are currently being used for real-
space refinement/fitting? I frequently forget that I have put alpha
helix restraints on when building, and wonder why my amino acids are
drifting so dramatically out of my electron density!
We were talking about this problem just recently (at the CCP4 dev
meeting, I think). Yes an iconic indicator would be nice. What
would be more clever, we think (or at least I think we think) is for
Coot to realise that helical (or strand) restraints are active and
examine the "helicalness" ("strandiness") of the fragment that you
are trying to refine - and if it passes a threshold of sufficient
difference from ideality then you get a warning - something along the
lines of an "Are you sure?" dialog.
Great- although I have to say "Are you sure?" dialogs are an evil that
should be avoided - they drive me mad! (the Undo is sufficient!)
OK, better would be "Use Helical Restrains when refining this?" Yes No.
Paul.
