We're thinking of adding some generic per-frame hook as a command so that you don't have to use Movie Recorder at all to generate a series of POVray files that you want to post-process before rendering (you would use the not-yet-documented "export" command to generate them).

This hook, a command named "perframe", is now in there. It will be available in tomorrow's build if that works. There is documentation here: http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/home/meng/docs/UsersGuide/midas/perframe.html

Hi Klaas,

You can make the Chimera movie recorder use your preference for keeping POVray files by editing file

chimera/share/MovieRecorder/RecorderHandler.py

changing line 120 from

raytraceKeepInput = False,

to

# raytraceKeepInput = False,

Then restart Chimera.

Perhaps we should change the Chimera default for the "keep POVray input files" to false and have movie recorder respect the preference setting.
