NameError: name 'p' is not defined

[s.piper@…]

Hi ChimeraX team,
I want to use ChimeraX version 0.6 to be able to use the plugin Isolde.
However, I get an error when opening my files (both .pdb files and .mrc files) in ChimeraX (not in any other versions, but only in 0.6), see below.

Do you know if there is something wrong with my files or is it a bug in the version? Since I can open these same files in other version of ChimeraX (e.g. 0.1 and 0.7), I don’t think it has necessarily to do with my files themselves.

Many thanks for your help!

Here the error file:

Hi Sarah,

There's no need to be using that old version any more. I'll have an "official" new version (built for ChimeraX 0.8) coming out in a week or so, but I'd be happy to send you an advance copy.

Best regards,

Tristan

Hi Sarah,

Also. this problem was fixed in April, but only affects files that you drag-and-drop onto ChimeraX. If you open the file via the File→Open.. menu entry then it will work. You can also use the "open" command to open your file ("open browse" will also being up a file browser if you don't want to have to type in the whole file name).

Thank you so much Eric and Tristan for your quick replies.
This was indeed a very easy fix and open browse worked like a charm!
Many thanks,

Sarah
