Dear Oliver Dear All
great, just downloaded the latest version!
Extremely useful "fetch" utility! Works like a charm.
Thank you and keep up the good work
Christian

Cosigned re fetch by id being missed - particularly for EMDB (maps & map+model), which I don’t see an obvious way to access currently even on the command line (apologies if I missed it and it is obvious!)
Cheers Oli

Hi Christian, We named it “View” instead of “Focus” because it issues a “view” command, but your points have merit — “Focus” is more evocative of what the action actually does, and is less confusable with hide/show, so after some discussion we have renamed the menu item to “Focus” and the change will be in the next daily build. The menu item item still issues/logs a “view” command to do its work. We are aware that the direct equivalent of the “Fetch By ID” dialog is missing in ChimeraX and we intend to add it. It’s just a matter of implementation priorities, so it could still be a little while — but it’s useful to know that it’s definitely missed, which will make it more likely to get worked on sooner. Also, there is a list specifically for ChimeraX user issues — chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu mailto:chimerax-users@cgl.ucsf.edu, (cc’ed here), which would be better to discuss ChimeraX topics on than chimera-users…

Dear Chimera Team
first of all, thank you very much for your important and good work on the Chimera software.
Two comments:
I did some recent work with Chimera X. The menu item "Focus" was changed to "View", which I find less suitable. The term "View" is often applied in other contexts, in particular if a certain residue should be shown vs. not shown. In contrast, "Focus" is not ambiguous, it is not related to showing vs. hiding certain parts of the molecular representation but exactly indicates what is done by the command.
The direct pdb download from rcsb or whatever repository is a highly useful tool which is more difficult to access than it used to be. Ok I know it is there, I type "open xxxx" and I use the command line quite a lot anyway, but for others who start with the menus it does not appear to be accessible. Perhaps I also missed something, but then others may not find it as well.
Thank you and best wishes Christian Klein _______________________________________________ Chimera-users mailing list -- chimera-users@cgl.ucsf.edu To unsubscribe send an email to chimera-users-leave@cgl.ucsf.edu Archives: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__mail.cgl.ucsf.edu_mailm...
