In version 1.1892 (and older possibly), file > save session seems to be stripping TER statements from PDB files. The TER statement is helpful for specifically telling Chimera and other PDB viewers not to connect consecutive residues in a PDB (for example ATP/water molecules at the end of a PDB that are not part of the main protein chain).
Re-inserting TER's manually into the .py file can become cumbersome especially when one PDB insertion in the .py is 27000+ columns long.
Would it be possible to fix this in future versions?
Thanks in advance, Sabuj Pattanayek
Dear Sabuj, There was a fix that made it into the 1.1917 version for putting in appropriate TER cards (I know you are having trouble getting a working 1.1917 for Linux right now). If you could give me an example that exhibits the problem behavior, I can verify if the example works with 1.1917 or not. I anticipate the 1.1917 Linux download problem will be fixed by Monday at the latest and probably earlier.
