Hi Daniel, The non-coding answer is that you can see the command it tried to run in the Log... just enter that command except change the pathname as desired. There are all kinds of other options for saving images and movies, if you just use commands "save" and "movie," respectively. Another way to save an image is with menu: File... Save. save command: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/save.html#image> ... making images: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/images.html> movie command <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/movie.html> ...making movies: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/movies.html> However, if you mean you want to change what location is used specifically when you click the icons to save an image or spin movie, somebody else would have to advise on where to change the code.

Hi,
How can I change the default filepath that 'Spin movie' saves to? The default for me saves to location without save permissions, so I have been unable to save images or movies.
Apologies if I missed an easy answer to this in the documentation.
Thanks, Daniel Gilliam
