feature request - add "save relative to model" as optional default?
Hi, Nitpick-y request for a future version but one that would make life easier... in the “Save PDB" dialog, would it be possible (when the option is present) to default (perhaps optionally) to having the “Save relative to model” box checked (and have the selected model default to the starting model)? I often save a manipulated pdb, or one that has been rigid-body fit to a density map, then open it up in coot or another program and realize that the map and model are no longer aligned because I forgot to check this box, and I can’t think of many cases when I would deliberately uncheck it. Cheers, Oliver.
Hi Oliver, This change seems relatively innocuous, so I’ve gone ahead and done it. Available in the next daily build. —Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
