You can use the "open" command with no arguments to pop up the open dialog. Chimera should wait until you select a file (or cancel) before continuing to the next command (either on the same line or the next line in a script). Conrad On 4/16/2014 5:58 PM, Katrina Lexa wrote:
Hello All,
I’m wondering if there is a way to call the file->open popup within chimera when running a python script? I know that it’s possible to run the script on the command line and read the desired arguments in that way, and obviously the files I want could be coded in and then changed every time I want to look at something new, but I’m not seeing an obvious option from the mailing list or in the runCommand list for writing in a mid-script call for the user to select a file. Is such a thing possible?
Thanks for your help, -- Katrina
