Subject: Problem opening local small-molecule CIF file

Hello,

I'm having problems opening a locally stored small-molecule cif file.

For example, the following runs without problems:
open ccd:pim

But if I download the file (PIM.cif) and try to open it with ChimeraX, I get an error:
open PIM.cif -> No mmCIF models found.
open PIM.cif format corecif -> No small molecule CIF models found. Perhaps this is a mmCIF file?
open PIM.cif format smallcif -> No small molecule CIF models found. Perhaps this is a mmCIF file?

Thank you in advance for your help,
Ute
