Hi Eric,

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

Thank you for your help,
Ute

Subject: Re: [chimerax-users] Opening mol2 files with ChimeraX without ViewDock windows
 
Hi Ute,
Are these typically single-structure Mol2 files?  I could changed the default behavior so that showTool is false for single-structure files but true for multiple-structure files...

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?

Thank you for your help,
Ute
