Hello: I am carrying out the analysis of MD for a ligand wandering through a protein. Specifically following the pathway through the trace left by the centroid of the ligand. Apparently the "save session" doe not work for movie. I.e., I stopped the movie (with the centroids drawn at the various steps) at a certain step, then "save session" destroyed the graphics and only alpha-numeric appeared on the terminal. Is there a diffent procedure for such a case or only "save image"? This would greatly limit what could be done by reorienting the protein, coloring, labeling, etc. thanks francesco pietra

The MD Movie tool does not support session saving at this time. However, what this means is that you should still be able to save a session but when restored the session will show only the structure and so forth and not the tool interface. If Chimera crashes when you save a session involving a trajectory then that is a bug and you should report it with the "Report a Bug" entry in the Help menu, along with whatever steps are needed to reproduce the crash. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab '
