Hi Matic,
As a proof of concept, the following snippet would save a session file every 30
seconds. You can put this in your pymolrc file.
python
import os
import threading
import time
from pymol import cmd
def _auto_save():
filename = os.path.expanduser(time.strftime('~/pymol-auto-save-%s.pse'))
while True:
time.sleep(30) # interval in seconds
cmd.save(filename, quiet=0)
_auto_save = threading.Thread(target=_auto_save)
_auto_save.setDaemon(1)
_auto_save.start()
python end
Saving session files is not very fast, so with larger molecules, the
interruption will be very noticeable. There is a new experimental setting in
PyMOL 1.8.2 which can improve this: pse_binary_dump
Cheers,
Thomas
