[Chimera-users] Cannot save the labels in Volume trace

[Thomas Goddard]

Hi Xing,

   Yes, now I see that if you select a link and use menu Actions / Label 
/ other... and type a text label such as a number for your helices then 
that label is not saved in sessions.  This is a bug, that labels on 
links or bonds are not saved in sessions.  Eric Pettersen says he will 
fix it this week (probably today).

   The marker notes only apply to the markers, not the links. I will fix 
the code so that marker labels created with Actions / Label / other... 
are saved.  Currently having an empty marker note overrides such labels. 
  I expect to fix this later in the week.  Will let you know when it is 
fixed.

	Tom
