Hi Pascal,

  I added the ability to save pseudobond files (.pb suffix) in ChimeraX, will be in tonight's builds,

select /A,B min 15 max 24
save somelinks.pb selectedOnly true

This saves crosslinks between chains A and B with lengths between 15 and 24.  The link colors and radii are also saved.

Dear ChimearX Users and developers, 

I'm using ChimeraX for visualization and analysis of pseudobonds datasets from Crosslinking-MS and i found new features very useful (min max selection etc). 
I think it would be useful (but i don't know how much effort will be required) to be able to select subsets of distances (e.g. form 15 to 24 Angstroms, or involving chain A and B) and being able to create and export these subsets. for instance i have a Complex of A, B and C and i want to select all pseudo-bonds involving A and B and export them as pb file (to be able to load them as a separate model lateron). Or to sel min 15 max 24, and then export them as pb file (with "save" function). 

I think it would be really useful for both crosslinks visualization and analysis (i work with datasets of thousands of crosslinks on big complexes which make difficult to subselect them, i have to do it with pymol, then generate subsets and reformat them as .pb files). 

i had a look to previous threads, but i didn't found similar topics. If i'm wrong my apologize.

Thank you!

Pascal
