The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform: macOS-15.5-arm64-arm-64bit
ChimeraX Version: 1.10.dev202504050547 (2025-04-05 05:47:37 UTC)
Description
The alphafold interfaces command ignores the distance and max_pae arguments. In the interfaces.csv output it shows distance 4 and max_pae 5 regardless of the given options. This was reported by George Belov on the ChimeraX mailing list.
