1) I would love it if the PDB Loader Service Plugin would clean up what it left in /tmp on pymol exit. I have a feeling this might be complicated though. I just have a bad memory when I first entered this world and I had pymol open and I was trying to load a pdb and the plugin just would not work. The previous graduate student using the system had previously loaded the same pdb using the plugin and the file had written in /tmp and the PDB Loader would therefore not get me the file. When you're just starting a rotation in a new lab, that type of problem can scar you as you have to explain why it took you half an hour to open a pdb in pymol...
An alternative solution is to check for the filename before trying to write there. And be like Firefox and just name them 1ACB-1.pdb when 1ACB.pdb can't be written to. 2) This might be out of your range as it is a plug in written by the community, but DynoPlot could become something really cool with a little love and care. My big problem right now is that you are only able to create a plot with a single selection. I teach a lab once a year where we have the students use dynoplot to make ramachandran plots of the helices, then they have to restart pymol before they can select the beta sheets and make a ramachandran plot of them as well. As we all know, losing a pymol session can be a painful experience. Having to restart is also rough. 3) A more extensive undo/redo system. It would be nice to be able to undo anything. And then redo it. I'm talking "fetch 2no8; split_states", realizing there's 60 models and just doing "undo" and having a single model again. Or I accidentally change my view, I can go back. I don't know what level of granularity it should be, but something would be good. Again, losing that perfect view or such can be painful. -David ----- Original Message ---- > From: Jason Vertrees <jason.vertr...@schrodinger.com> > To: pymol-users@lists.sourceforge.net > Sent: Tue, January 19, 2010 11:26:39 PM > Subject: [PyMOL] New Feature Ideas > > PyMOLers, > > We need to move forward on PyMOL development, so I'm collecting ideas > from all our users on what they most want in future versions of PyMOL. > We already have a page on the PyMOL wiki for this > (http://pymolwiki.org/index.php/Ideas) from 2008/2009.
