Re: [PyMOL] which PyMOL to open?

[AJ Vincelli]

Hi all,

Thanks to Dheeraj, Jordan and Jed for your advice!

I don't think I installed any "extra" options, just educational-use-only 
PyMOL (version 1.7.4.5, x64) on Windows 10.


In the Windows 10 Start Menu folder, all of the 3D options are in a 
subfolder called "Stereo 3D Launch," so I think it's safe to say that 
all of those shortcuts are "special" and not "typical."


That leaves just 4 options, and of those, "Full Screen" and "Viewer 
Only" seem pretty straightforward.


That only leaves "PyMOL + Tcl-Tk GUI" and "PyMOL + Tcl-Tk GUI + 
Console." It looks like the shortcuts point to the same program, but the 
Console shortcut has an extra switch at the end: "C:\Program 
Files\PyMOL\PyMOL\PymolWin.exe" +2 -J. The GUI-only shortcut doesn't 
have the +2 switch, just the -J switch.


I don't know what the +2 switch does, or what the -J switch does for 
that matter, but I think I'm just going to use the "PyMOL + Tcl-Tk GUI + 
Console" option in the Start Menu for my everyday PyMOL use.


When I open either of these two shortcuts, they look exactly the same to 
me anyway.


Thanks for everyone's help!

AJ

Wow!
I haven't seen so many options before, even after installing Edu PyMOL 
correctly.


Do you all of you get these options (Win10 users)?
I only get to see
PyMOL + Tcl-tk, and,
PyMOL + Tcl-tk + Console.

AJ, did you install anything extra?
This may seem another dumb question, but your answers will be helpful.

[J.R. W]

I think Tcl-Tk GUI + Console is the most familiar pymol.

That's not a dumb question AJ. I have been using Pymol for a while and I
haven't got a clue. :D
