Hello, I recently noticed that the current production version of Chimera (v1 build 2470) does not have the "Collaboratory tool" anymore. I wanted to give it a try and I am quite disappointed. From a previous changelog (http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/relnotes/1.2417.html), I read that "Collaboratory removed (use version 1.2309 for this tool)". My question is: can we expect this feature to be back one day, or should I look for an alternative ? Thanks, Aurélien.
Hi Aurelien, We do not plan to add this feature back. However, you can still download version 1.2309 if you want to try it (scroll down a bit): http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/olddownload.html Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi Aurelien, We removed the Collaboratory (remote Chimera sharing) capability because it did not support mirroring most of the Chimera tools. With increased network bandwidth from 5 years ago it is quite reasonable to use a desktop sharing program such as VNC. Using a general desktop sharing program to mirror the display of Chimera is what we recommend for using Chimera with remote collaborators. Tom
