I use Chimera to visualize MD trajectories. Usually I launch the program through the command line. I’ve got a pretty deep hierarchy of directories to keep my data organized, so I’ve been trying to look for a way to make Chimera keep the path of the directory where I launched it from, with no success.

What I mean is, if I launch it from a given directory and then try to load MD NetCDF files with the “MD Movie” option, is there a way for it to show me the files in the directory where I opened it from?. Because now what it does is show me the ones from the last time I used this.

There’s a preference for this. In the General category of Preferences (Favorites->Preferences) change “Open dialog starts in directory from last session” from true to false. Assuming you want it to apply to future uses of Chimera, click Save.
