Delete old coordinate slider when new one is created

Dear Tom,

We’re working with ChimeraX to view some short trajectories. A very nice feature is that when we load a trajectory onto the molecule is that the coordset slider appears. If we then load a new trajectory into the molecule, a new slider appears but the previous slider remains. So, of course, we can click it away, but it would be nice if we could automatically close it somehow. Either a shell solution or a command line solution would work.

So, I can find the slider widget from the shell, but can’t seem to manage to delete the little window that’s around it:

for w0 in session.ui.allWidgets():

if 'Slider' in w0.repr():

w=w0

But, that’s just the slider itself. I’d like to get rid of the whole window. How would I go about doing this?

Thanks for you help.

Cheers,
Albert

Fixed.

I made the coordset slider command always remove existing sliders for the specified structures before creating new ones.
