Description

After opening up a PDB file with format pdb, it stays pdb format forever. Even after explicitly saying format mmcif.

Change History (2)

This is related to the fact that file history does not remember the options (like “coordset True") given to the open command, ticket #646.  It does remember the format, but when you open the same file again with a different format it doesn’t replace the file history entry or make a new one.  This should be fixed when file history is updated to handle open command options.  I’m not sure if it should make multiple file history entries for the different options or just replace the existing one for that file.

File history entries now update when the same file is opened with a different format or open command options. The file history only keeps one entry for a given file / database entry and the most recently used set of options.
