Docs...

Another quick note- Any chance the documentation will be updated anytime soon? I noticed that the current menu structure in Chimera isn't quite the same as that described in the tutorials. This makes it a little harder to learn how to use the application (though I am managing...). It would still be helpful to have updated documentation... Again, thank you. Geoff.

Mac OS X
by Geoffrey H Wathen 18 Mar '03

18 Mar '03

Just a quick suggestion... I have loaded the beta release of OpenOffice.org for Mac OS X, and it has a launcher similar to the launcher that you have provided for Chimera. Interestingly, their installer has some functionality that yours doesn't, and yours has some that theirs doesn't. Specifically, I'm writing to suggest that you allow your launcher to launch X11 (or whatever X Window implementation the user has installed) before trying to launch Chimera. Right now, it seems that if I don't remember to launch X11 first, I get to see Chimera bounce for a little while, then it just goes away, no error message, or anything. Thanks for your attention. Geoff. P.S. Incidentally, the functionality that you've managed that they don't have is that the Chimera (launcher) icon only stays in the Dock as long as Chimera is running. The OOo launcher has to be quit separately from the OOo application itself.

residues in highlight lens?
by David E. Konerding 17 Mar '03

17 Mar '03

Hi, from what I can tell, there is no way to use the ribbon representation within the highlight lens; the options are limited to atom and bond representations. I am hoping to turn on only the ribbon representation in the highlight lens, leaving atom and bonds disabled. Is this available? If it isn't, wouldn't this be a reasonable feature to add to the highlight lens? thanks, dave

Re: [chimera-dev] provisional release notes on the web
by Greg Couch 14 Mar '03

Maybe the Aqua bugs need to be on a separate web page. Or maybe it is time to give each release its own web page. Any objections to the latter?

provisional release notes on the web
by Greg Couch 14 Mar '03

14 Mar '03

Please check out http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/relnotes.html and email me any ommisions, clarifications, etc. I believe the bold convention is that it should match capitalized menu entries. Thanks, Greg

PPC Linux...
by Geoffrey H Wathen 07 Mar '03

07 Mar '03

Is there any chance that a set of PPC Linux binaries will be available at some point? Other than that, my hat's off to you. So far this seems to be an immensely impressive piece of software. Oh, one other thing. Is there a source of pdb files that can be downloaded to provide building blocks for more complex packages? Thank you. Geoff.

registering new file types for chimera
by Greg Couch 28 Feb '03

28 Feb '03

I've added an optional extra argument to chimera.fileInfo.register() that is a list of mime types that correspond to the file type. Feel free to modify your extensions to supply the extra information :-) This will eventually be used by web browsers to invoke chimera. Greg

Profec
by Michael Trieb 18 Feb '03

18 Feb '03

Dear Chimera developers We have a question concerning the possibility to read files from PROFEC (wich is implemented in Amber 7). We know that this is possible with Midas Plus. We would like to know if this is also possible with Chimera. Thanks in advance Michael Trieb -- Mag.
