Hi Tom,

I've just checked again & on my PC (ChimeraX 1.5) I still get the same - see image attached. Top half is the open dialog and the bottom half is the save dialog.

However on my colleague's "special" PC which has ChimeraX 1.7 the issue appears fixed - both windows look like the top one in the image and have the little arrow by "modified" to allow you to sort by date.

I will have to badger our system admin to update to 1.7 🙂

Cheers,

Matt

The ChimeraX 1.7.1 file save dialog on Mac sorts files by date if you click the Date Modified heading. This is a Qt window toolkit file save dialog (not an operating system native dialog) so I would expect it to work the same on all operating systems.

Hi,

I was wondering if you would consider implementing sorting files by the date they were last modified to the File>Save function, much like it currently works in the File>Open function. This would save me quite some time looking through my sometimes inefficiently named sessions.

Best regards,

Matt
