Description
Jonathan Jih reports that side view disappears whenever he loads a session. Originally reported in ticket #7103 comment 6.
Although my Side View was set to launch by default in v1.3 and still
does in v1.4 when launching a blank session of ChimeraX, Side View does not
launch at all when restoring a previously saved session in v1.4, regardless
of whether or not Side View was saved or left open when saving the session.
Again, this also isn't a huge issue as I can just reopen Side View, but
thought I'd let you guys know.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
I tested ChimeraX 1.3 and it also always closes Side View when a session is opened.
Many ChimeraX tools automatically close when a new session file is opened, and apparently Side View is one of those that automatically closes. The Models and Log panels are examples of ones that do not automatically close. Probably Side View also should not automatically close since it is a panel that is not associated with any data that has been closed. I'm not actually sure what our rules are for which panels automatically close.
