Well, whatever the contents of Log tool was when the session was saved should be restored.  If there was no Log tool (for instance, if this script creates sessions in "nogui" mode) then nothing is restored.

I am not sure of the exact release version, but it is has definitely been installed this year.

I create the sessions using a python script and open it with the command line, does that prevent the session messages from restoring?

Hi Alexander,

There is no command to re-show the chain table.  I have added you to the recipient list for the enhancement-request ticket we have open for that.

Nonetheless, the chain table should still be in the log contents after the session is restored.  At least for sessions saved in versions of ChimeraX since March of 2020, when that capability was added.  Are you using an old version of ChimeraX?

Good afternoon,

I was wondering if there was any built-in functionality to show the chain annotations that are shown when the file is first open?

When I save a session (.cxs) and reopen it later, this information is missing.

Best,

Alexander
