SwissDock .chimerax file

[angelo.lanzilotto@…]

The following bug report has been submitted:
Platform:        Windows-10-10.0.18362
ChimeraX Version: 0.91 (2019-10-10)
Description
Hi, I have configured your software to open SwissDock output docking files directly from the browser (it is attched, extension .chimerax).
ChimeraX does start, but it closes almost immeaditely without displaying any molecule. Do you have reports like mine from other users, and how would you tackle it?
Best

Hi Angelo,

I know it's confusing, but .chimerax files are used in conjunction with UCSF Chimera, not UCSF ChimeraX. You need to undo whatever you did to get the file to open in ChimeraX, install Chimera, and redo those steps but with Chimera.
We developed the .chimerax file format ("Chimera eXtension") many years before even thinking of creating the ChimeraX program. Sorry it's so confusing.

Dear Eric,


Thanks for the explanation, it works fine now.

You must receive quite a bit of messages like mine.


Best of luck

Not too often, but not never! :-)

Glad it's working.
