[Chimera-users] vina output file misnamed

[Conrad Huang]

The problem is that the GUI does a little extra work that the command 
line does not when you use the "Browse" button to select the output 
file, there is a checked check button (in small text) "add .pdbqt suffix 
if none given", so the file name that you supply actually has the .pdbqt 
appended automatically even if you do not type it.  The command line, on 
the other hand, uses the value of the "output" option without 
modification and does NOT add the .pdbqt suffix.  (I think the rationale 
is that you should be able to name your file exactly.  Even the "add 
suffix" check button allows you to turn off that behavior.  I'm not 
saying that's the RIGHT behavior, just that's the reasoning for the 
current behavior.)  In any case, your command:

> vina docking receptor #0 ligand #1 output mytest search_center 10,20,30

creates the output in file "mytest" rather than "mytest.pdbqt".  I'm 
pretty sure if you say:

> vina docking receptor #0 ligand #1 output mytest.pdbqt search_center 10,20,30

you should get the results in a properly named file.
