hello, I'm running MacPyMol 0.99. I typically open pymol from the terminal ( terminal.app) using the "open" command.
> open test.pdb I have .pdb files set to open with MacPyMol, so graphicConverter doesn't open when I do this. The problem I have when doing this is that when entering the "pwd" command into pymol, I get the following: PyMOL> pwd / so pymol thinks it's running from the root directory. This makes it tough for me to load more pdbfiles into pymol using the "load" command as I must first "cd" into the directory with pymol. Just a note, that in version 0.98, using the "open" command, pymol would recognize what directory it was opened from. Now, I can use the "pymol test.pdb" to open pdbfiles, but then the terminal gets the output from pymol. I've tried to run pymol in the background so that I can continue to use this terminal window while stilll having pymol open. Using "pymol test.pdb &" I still get pymol output to the terminal. I could use "pymol test.pdb >& /dev/null &" but that seems quite a bit more verbose compared to "open test.pdb" I guess I could alias pymol to essentially pipe it's output to /dev/null but since version 0.98 worked fine, I was wondering if anyone has a workaround for this inconvenience. Thanks. - Andrew Wollacott
