[Chimera-users] opening maps into an open session by clicking file in folder

[Tom Goddard]

I also confirm that dragging a PDB file from Finder onto the running Chimera 1.14 Dock icon does not open the file, macOS 1.15.4 Catalina.  Very likely this generates the same FileOpen event that double clicking does that is not being handled.  Dragging a PDB file onto the non-running Chimera 1.14 application icon does start Chimera on that file.  But the problem is getting a file into an already running Chimera.

Unfortunately we have no funding to maintain Chimera so only critical fixes are made and I don't think this is going to count as critical.  Our newer ChimeraX software opens the files correctly and all our effort is towards developing it with a 1.0 release coming next month.
