Hi Jean-Paul, For a more reliable response, please send questions to chimera- users@cgl.ucsf.edu rather than to me directly -- I might be out (sick or vacation), or others may know the answer when I don't! There is no preference for window sizes and locations. However, there is a startup option "--geometry" for the main window (but not other tools, sorry): <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/options.html#geometry> How to specify startup options depends on your type of computer: <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/startup.html> Some related things... After you start Chimera, you can use the "windowsize" command to specify the pixel dimensions of the main window. <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/midas/window.html> If you save a session, it should restore with the same main window size. I don't think the location is saved, however. <http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/sessions.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

hello, i have a question. is there a way of saving the window sizes and windows positions in chimera ? whenever i start chimera the default all the windows have always the same position and sizes. i always adjust it to the same position and size, but maybe there is a way to save it as a preference ? i checked the preferences file, nothing there. thank you, best regards, jean-paul armache
