Hi,
How do I delete the "Named selection" from the chimera file? I could not get the info from the archive or by searching the web.
I guess I've never run into a situation where someone wants to remove/ delete a named selection! Can you describe why you want/need to do this? I would consider making it easier to do if whatever situation you describe seems like it might be run into by others. Anyway, I'm assuming that "chimera file" means a Chimera session file. To remove named selections from a session file you would edit it with a text editor (that can handle long lines) and look for a line that looks like this: savedSels = [[sel-name1, [bunch of numbers...], [sel-name2, [more numbers], etc.] To remove sel-name1 from the save selection, change the line to: savedSels = [[sel-name2, [more numbers], etc.] To remove all selections: saveSels = [] Don't just remove the line entirely. You'll get an error restoring the session if you do that. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu
