Thank you Eric.
I was able to implement the feature I wanted for PDBs opened from a single file. I think it would be nice to be able to do it for fetched files too, so I would appreciate some help on that. I was also wondering if opened volumes have the same 'openedAs' attribute.
Best,
Ricardo

Hi Ricardo,
Every opened model in Chimera has an ‘openedAs’ attribute which is either None or a 4-tuple. For models that were directly opened from a single file on the file system (rather than fetched to a file for instance), openedAs will be a tuple whose first component is the full path to that file. If you need more that that (e.g. fetched files too, which is more complicated), let me know and I can provide those details.

Hi,
I am trying to write an extension for a tool that requires PDB files or MRC structures as input. I would like to be able to pass the model or volume that is currently loaded in Chimera to this separate executable, but for this I need to get the file path to the model's object. Is this possible to do from the Python API?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo Avila
