thanks. suggestion on feature when exiting session, chimera auto writes out a csv file of model id, name and path. file name equals session name with csv extension. The file could be incorporated into a database. Would make organizing assets & archiving session files easier.

Can you point me in the direction of how to loop over the model panel ? Such as elevant variables, and what would be a block of code in chimera that I should study. Hi Matt, I don't know that you need to go through the Model Panel per se, you could just go through Chimera's open models list: chimera.openModels.list() Each model in the list has: id ID number subid Sub-ID number (None if it doesn't have a sub-ID) name Name openedAs If it came from a file, a 4-tuple of stuff you mostly don't care about, but the first element is the file name Since some models don't come from files (e.g. on-the-fly VRML models), you may want to use the model panel's "inputPath" function to always get a usable/readable string: from ModelPanel import inputPath path = inputPath(model) -Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab
