[COOT] coot read-only switch

2014-11-07 Thread Tim Gruene
Hello,

does Coot have a 'read-only' command line option, i.e. so that it does
not modify anything in the current directory? I often just want to look
at a PDB-file and would prefer not to end up with coot-backup and all
the other files.

The options listed with 'coot --help' don't seem to list one of such kind.

Regards,
Tim

While these are not exactly what you are after, these may be of some help:

1. the backup dir can be set to be any directory, e.g. /tmp/, so that it 
doesn't fill the working dir with its droppings, by setting the relevant 
environment variable:
https://www2.mrc-lmb.cam.ac.uk/Personal/pemsley/coot/web/docs/coot.html#Environment-Variables

2. backups can be switched off completely:

 The options listed with 'coot --help' don't seem to list one of such
