1) session name somewhere on the viewer, perhaps next to "UCSf Chimera" at the top. 2) make the session name accessible as a variable name for text labels. So the first 10 frames of a movie can embed the session name. 3) ability to create movie file names using the session name variable; so that movie filenames can be automatically derived. 4) ability to set different directory defaults (e.g., data working directory, directory containing session files, directory containing movies)

Good idea. Chimera was already remembering the session file name (to make "Save Session" work), so it was pretty easy to implement. It will be in tonight's build.

We're talking 2D labels here, right?

We'll be discussing #2-4 in our developer's meeting this week. Will report back on what we decide. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu
