Hi Eric, Yes, they are single-molecule files, so your solution would work!

I could changed the default behavior so that showTool is false for single-structure files but true for multiple-structure files... --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab On Apr 29, 2026, at 1:34 AM, Ute Roehrig via ChimeraX-users <chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote: Dear Developers, Is it possible to change the default behavior of ChimeraX when opening files in mol2 format to not showing the ViewDock window? I know I can add "showtool false" on the command line or make an alias, but I often open multiple mol2 files directly from the linux command line (chimerax *.mol2), and then the screen becomes cluttered with ViewDock windows. Alternatively, is there a command to close all opened ViewDock windows?
