[Chimera-users] inter-atomic distances do not show in session after daily build upgrade

[Boaz Shaanan]

Hi Elaine,

Thanks for the quick response. I often find myself in a dilemma when coming across a problem in Chimera: is it me who doesn't know about an existing Chimera function or is it really a bug. Thanks to you guys it really does not matter eventually.

As for using the production release: I switched to the daily built because of another problem that Eric pointed out to me with using of the castp data. That has solved the castp problem and I'm happy with using the daily built now but for the issue I reported today.

   Thanks for your help,

                              Boaz

Hi Boaz,
Generally it is better to use "Help... Report a Bug" and attach the session so that we have the data, but in this case you don't need to do it -- I just reproduced the problem in my own little test session with one distance.  I will report the bug and put you on the CC list.

I almost always use daily builds too, but since they aren't tested, occasionally some bug will prevent you from doing what you want or need to do.  Sometimes I save more than one daily build.  Otherwise, I'm hoping you will be able to use the production release (version 1.5.3) until this is sorted out.  If you saved the session in a newer version, however, I understand that may not work.  I will put the bug at a high priority.

Sorry about that,
Elaine

Before the upgrade the session was restored several times and always showed the distances fine. Is there a way to resuscitate the display of distances? I sure hope so.
