Sometimes I wish that, from javascript in the browser, I could ask
the Jmol applet to let me (javascript) peek into the contents of a
Jmol command script (.spt) file, preferably before I execute it. Is
there some way to do this?
If not, do others think this would be useful?
I'm envisioning something like this:
message file myscript.spt
Rather than executing the script, it would simply message the
contents of the .spt file. I could then parse the script and behave
accordingly.
This would be somewhat along the lines of "show pdbheader", which
messages the PDB file header to the javascript messageCallback function.
I am aware that the script file can set javascript variables using a
"javascript ..." script command. However, if the purpose of that is
to inform the browser that, for example, the script plays a movie,
it requires an additional knowledgable effort on the part of the
script file author. If I could just preview the contents of the
script file looking for e.g. delay or moveTo commands, I could tell
whether there is movie in the script without troubling the author of
the script file for (redundant) information in another form.
