Hi all, Quick update on the "ignore_case" issue:
- ignore_case=on default restored in PyMOL 1.8.0.5 and latest SVN - latest SVN introduces new "ignore_case_chain" setting Cheers, Thomas On 02 Feb 2016, at 14:38, Thomas Holder <thomas.hol...@schrodinger.com> wrote: > Greetings, > > I like to let you know that we plan another change for the "ignore_case" > setting behavior.
