[PyMOL] PyMOL 1.8.2 released

[Thomas Holder]

Greetings,

We are happy to announce the release of PyMOL v1.8.2! Official PyMOL sponsors 
can download ready-to-use installers from http://pymol.org/download . The 
open-source code has been pushed to sourceforge svn (revision 4156).

Highlights in this release:

- new "cartoon_gap_cutoff" setting lets you display dashed loop segments with 
incomplete models (like missing loops)

- new "auto_show_classified" setting automatically shows cartoon, with ligand 
sticks and inorganic spheres, when loading a structure (Setting > Auto Show... 
> ... by Classification)

- new “Distances between rings” measurement mode in Measurements Wizard

To take advantage of the new settings by default, you can put this into your 
pymolrc:

  set auto_show_classified, 1
  set cartoon_gap_cutoff, 20

We welcome any feedback and bug reports.

Cheers,
- The PyMOL Team at Schrödinger

[PyMOL] movies - transparency?

[harold steinberg]

Hi all,

1. If I set a surface with 70% transparency and then generate a morph of it - 
all looks great. However, when I save a movie of that morph the transparent 
surface turn almost solid, though you can still see the cartoon backbone (looks 
more like 5% transparency). Is there anyway to maintain the transparency the 
way I set it when saving out a movie?

I can render out each frame of the morph as a single frame and then assemble 
them all into a movie but it takes a lot of time...

2. When I save a movie with the background set to transparent, it still comes 
out as white. Anyway to get a transparent background in a movie?

Thanks,
