Hi Nebojsa, We're glad you like ChimeraX! It has the following handy mechanism for using command files (.cxc) to process multiple input files without having write python. You can open a command file (.cxc file) using the "open" command with the "forEachFile" option: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/open.html#forEachFile> As explained in the link above, you can use "$file" in the commands in the file to name them differently according to the names of the different input files. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Hi, I was looking into the possibility of saving 5 mrc maps after batch z-flipping them. The commands would looks something like this:
1. cd /folder/with/maps 2. open *.mrc 3. volume flip #1-5 4. save [name]-zflip.mrc models #6-10
Ideally, the script would save each new (flipped) map as a new .mrc with the suffix "-zflip" or whichever suffix user specifies in the script line 4. Is there such an option if it's implemented?
Thank you for the awesome ChimeraX
