Hi Chimera team, I was wondering if the command history is stored as a (temp?) file somewhere? I presume it must need an on-disk record for the history between startups. Could you let me know where/how to find this on MacOS? It would be useful to do some searching of the file etc. Many thanks, Joe Dr. Joseph Healey Ph.D. M.Sc. B.Sc.

Hi Joe, The command history is embedded in the preferences file. See here for file location: <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/preferences.html#preffile> However, the default is to save 60 commands only (set in the Preferences category of Preferences dialog opened from Favorites menu). <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/UsersGuide/preferences.html#Command%20Line> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

In the preferences file, search for "remembered commands" to find that section. Elaine
