Hi Andrii,
Those both sound like good improvements.  I will open tickets for them in our issue-tracking database so that you will get notified as they get worked on.

Hi Chimera team!

I’d like to raise two points about the new ViewDock window:

  1. It would be great to have a count of displayed ligands shown somewhere in the window. For now there’s no easy way – I either count them manually, or export a mol2 file and use grep ... | wc -l.

  2. If I sort ligands by something else than Total Energy (which is how they are sorted in the mol2 file), and then use arrow keys to navigate the list (either in the ViewDock or in the 3D window) the ligands are being shown in a chaotic order, which appears to be the original order from the mol2 file. Is it possible to fix this behavior?

Thank you for the great work!

Sincerely,
Andrii
