[chimera-dev] Renaming a PDB loaded the Model Panel

[Eric Pettersen]

Hi Pablo,
	If you want to rename a model programmatically, you just set it’s “name” attribute, e.g.:

m.name = “new name”

If you don’t have a Python reference to the model but know it’s model ID number, you could use the “setattr” command, e.g.:

from chimera import runCommand
runCommand(“setattr m name ‘new name’ #2”)

If you need to fetch the name from the user, then you will have to put up some kind of dialog for that, similar to what renameDialog.py does.
