Dear All, I just installed the last release for Windows (June 07, 2013). I would like to get back the command line history I had in the previous version. I saved this command line history in a file named/chimera.cmd/. May you tell where to copy/chimera.cmd/ in the program files of my new Chimera? (I've made a search in the Windows explorer for /chimera.cmd/ but nothing was returned) Thanks, Damien
Hi Damien, If I understand correctly, before upgrading you saved your command history into a file named chimera.cmd. After upgrading, you want to get that history back into the new version. Is that correct? If so, the good news is that you don't have to do anything like that in order to preserve your command history -- it is preserved automatically. The command history is not saved in the Chimera installation itself but is saved in the user's preferences file. So just start the new version of Chimera and check the command history (click on the disclosure triangle to the right of the command line). If it contains your old commands, you're golden. If not for some reason (maybe you went to a new machine?) send me an email and I'll give you instructions for getting your chimera.cmd commands into the preferences file. It's a little tricky because the file formats aren't the same. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu On Jun 19, 2013, at 7:25 AM, Damien Larivière <damien.lariviere@fourmentinguilbert.org> wrote:

Dear Eric, Thanks for your answer. Effectively, I get my old commands back! In fact, I launched the new Chimera version with the ADMIN rights so that I lost the command trace and also the functions saved in Favorites. If I run Chimera normally, there is a continuity between the releases. Thanks again Damien Le 19/06/2013 19:41, Eric Pettersen a écrit :
