Hi Dan,
So by a “window-based one”, do you mean a native-like dialog?  If that’s what you meant, then no — it isn’t going to happen in Chimera because it would be a bunch of work to make that replacement and we’re mostly working on ChimeraX now.  The somewhat good news is that ChimeraX does use a native-like file dialog so eventually you will get what you want, whenever ChimeraX is far enough along that it does the other things that you need.

Hello,

I have been using your software for a while. I love the features and general user interface. There is one thing that drives me nuts, though. The side-by-side list interface when I go to open files.A window-based one would be much easier. Is there an option for that that I am not seeing? If not, I suggest adding the option. Thank you for your software!

Best,
Dan
