Dear Helge, I don't have an elegant solution, but faced with this problem I would
(1) open old session
(2) use "alias delete" to get rid of the old versions of the aliases (or "alias delete all" if you are OK with getting rid of all of them) https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/alias.html
(3) re-save session
I understand that it is a pain to do this if you have a large repertoire of saved sessions, however. I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Dear ChimeraX users,
I have an ever-developing number of self-defined aliases that I added to the startup options.
I noticed that when I continue to work on older sessions, that were created with a by now outdated set of aliases, that the commands run from these alias are the old versions present at the time of session creation.
Is there a way to always use the newest settings from the startup file in such a case?
Manry regards,
Helge
