Reading this thread gave me the idea that maybe a good feature for an upcoming
release might be the addition of something like folders to the object/selection
bar on the right, this way objects and selections could be grouped and affected
all at once. I think this would be extremely useful for making figures where
you often have multiple objects and selections all converging to illustrate one
point. Plus it would help to reduce the clutter you build up if you could open
and close the folder to show or hide its contents in the resource bar.

I was just about to write something like this. In fact, I have tons of
files called something like x.py sprinkled around that do things like
-----------------------------------------
from pymol import cmd
num_dist = 100
def show_dist():
""" show all of my distance objects """
for i in range(num_dist):
cmd.enable('_dist%s'%i)
def hide_dist():
""" hide all of my distance objects """
for i in range(num_dist):
cmd.disable('_dist%s'%i)
cmd.extend('sd',show_dist)
cmd.extend('hd',hide_dist)
-----------------------------------------
You could also try something cute like
def show_dist():
dists = [name for name in cmd.get_names() if cmd.get_type(name) ==
'object:distance']
for name in dists: cmd.enable(name)
etc.
if you don't want to have to keep track of how many there are.
