problems opening multiple pdb files

Hi, I am using chimera on a Mac (10.15.4 verison). My problem is that every time I open a pdb file with a double click it opens it in a new window of chiemera. In this way I cannot have multiple pdb structures in a single chimera window using the double click method to open the files. Thanks.

Hi Domenico, Which version of Chimera are you using? When I use Chimera 1.14 on macOS 10.15.4 double clicking a PDB file starts Chimera, but double clicking a second PDB file then does nothing. It neither opens the second file in the existing Chimera nor does it open another copy of Chimera. Tom

I am using chimera 1.15 but my problem is just the opposite one, when I double click a second PDB file it opens another copy of Chimera and it’s a problem. Thanks.

Hi Domenico, I just tried the current Chimera 1.15 daily build and I still get the different bad behavior that only the first clicked file is opened, subsequent ones the double click does nothing. What you report was also reported as a Chimera bug a couple days ago. https://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/ticket/17452 <https://plato.cgl.ucsf.edu/trac/chimera/ticket/17452> I'll add your email to that bug report so if we fix it you will be notified. All our effort and funding is on our new ChimeraX program so I do not expect this to get fixed any time soon unless more people speak up. Apparently the broken behavior was caused by the update to macOS 10.15.4. There is some chance macOS 10.15.5 will fix it but I think it not likely. Tom
