cannot save session

[Elaine Meng]

In today's build UCSF ChimeraX version: 0.1 (2016-05-28) I can't save a session. From the dialog gives this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

...and from the command line gives this error:

looks like the session was created anyway... since it has a gz I think it was from the menu/dialog attempt.

[Eric Pettersen]

I fixed the first error, which _should_ have then resulted in the second error -- but it didn't, it worked. This is because the menu-driven session saving uses export.export, which in turn uses io.export. The command-driven version uses save.save. Obviously, we shouldn't have two different versions of session saving, so on top of fixing the second error above, the two session-saving mechanisms should somehow be combined.

Oops, it was the command way that worked despite error, whereas the menu way did not produce any file. But perhaps you figured that out already.

[Greg Couch]

menu uses save command.
