Thanks Greg, I'm one of the examiners. We'll give this a try. We're running an invigilated exam focusing on protein structure function. We want students to use ChimeraX to create figures to support their exam essays, so want them to be able to access and explore RCSB for PDB coordinates but didn't want them accessing full journal articles via DOIs using ChimeraX's internal browser (eg when clicking more jnfo after loading PDB entry). We'll try your edit suggestion. Thanks, Scott _______________________________________ Dr Scott A.

CAUTION: This email originated from outside the organisation. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognise the sender and know the content is safe. Unfortunately ChimeraX is the .exe. The code for in-app browser is part of the Qt user interface toolkit that ChimeraX uses, and is used in many different ways within ChimeraX. For example, the ChimeraX log is shown using the HTML widget that the in-app browser (help viewer) uses. You could edit the ChimeraX Python code to do nothing when asked to show a URL. Edit ChimeraX/bin/Lib/site-packages/chimerax/help_viewer/__init__.py and make the first line of the show_url function be the "return" statement. You'll have to check with the examiners if that is sufficient. Good luck, Greg On 2/26/2025 3:23 AM, m.i.bashir--- via ChimeraX-users wrote:

Hi all,

First time posting here. I'm looking to find the name and location of the file/folder that manages the ChimeraX in-app browser. The way I launch the browser is to go to 'tools' in the top bar, then press 'more tools', and then it brings up the ChimeraX Toolshed

Where is the .exe file that controls this in app browser? I am attempting to find the .exe file and black list it, so we can use ChimeraX for an exam

Thanks,
