Hi Ralph,

You were using the File→Open dialog to do this (rather than the "open" command directly)?

Hi Eric,
Yes, I believe so.
Sorry I didn't document it better, but of course I wasn't expecting it, so
its a reconstruction from memory.

Hi Ralph,
Thanks for reporting the problem. We have gotten quite a few reports of ChimeraX sporadically crashing on Windows when the File→Open dialog is in use. We are working on finding a solution.

Hi Eric,
Is this related to the OneDrive issue?  I just noticed that Chimera and
ChimeraX are installed on my public desktop, the one that I'm forbidden to
write pictures and other files to.
Just a thought.
Maybe I could reinstall ChimeraX  on my user desktop and see if that helps.

Hi Ralph,
	I don't think it's a OneDrive issue (though impossible to be 100% certain).  If you are willing to be a guinea pig, there is something I'd like you to try.  I have attached a Python file (non-native.py) that, when executed, will cause ChimeraX to use a non-native file browser for opening files, instead of the Windows native browser that it is currently using.  Put the file in some folder that will be easy for you to type in a command.  In the ChimeraX preferences, under Startup, put this startup command:

	open <path to folder you chose>/non-native.py

	After that, whenever you start ChimeraX it will use the non-native browser.  See if that seems to stabilize things.

Hi Ralph,

I don't know how well using the non-native browser worked for you, but the latest daily build has a new version of Python that has some fixes that we're very hopeful solve this problem. So you try going back to the native browser and using the daily build and see how that works.
