Hi Praz,

When I want to process several files, do complex or repetitive tasks I
prefer to write a Python script and access the PyMOL functions using the
PyMOL API, as in the code below.

This example will upload all the pdb files in the folder where the script
is located, one file at a time, save the current image as a png file and
then delete the uploaded molecule.

import __main__
__main__.pymol_argv = ['pymol','-qc']
import pymol
from pymol import cmd
pymol.finish_launching()
import glob

pdb_files = glob.glob('*.pdb')
for pdb in pdb_files:
    cmd.load(pdb)
    ### insert your code here ###
    cmd.png('%s' % pdb.split('.')[0])
    cmd.delete('all')


Cheers,
Osvaldo.
