    v5 v6  
    2222= Discussion =
    2323
     24* LAMMPS contact email obfuscated
     25  - The LAMMPS file reader listed email on Toolshed with "at" instead of "@" to avoid spam
     26  - That makes our nightly email that notifies about Toolshed bundles without Trac accounts constantly notify us developers.
     27  - Eric will change that notify script to allow exceptions.
     28
     29* LAMMPS in ChimeraX distribution?
     30  - LAMMPS developer wants to eliminate need to install from Toolshed by inclusion in ChimeraX distribution.
     31  - Should we allow that?
     32  - Bundle has no other dependencies.
     33  - Bundle is currently licensed GPL -- license would need to be changed.
     34  - It is about 400 lines of Python code.
     35  - Developer could submit pull requests to fix bugs.
     36  - We could remove it if it broke in a new ChimeraX version.
     37  - Would want some documentation in user guide - Eric will ask Elaine about that.
     38  - Eric would manage any pull requests.
     39  - Seems ok if Eric and Elaine are willing.
     40
     41* Toolshed reload available
     42  - We tried during meeting to get Toolshed to load LAMMPS metadata to see if it would put the file format in the Open dialog list of formats.
     43  - Could not get the meta data using "toolshed reload available".
     44  - Greg said that command is asynchronous so may not have completed.
     45
     46* Mac display configuration crashes
     47  - Have 5 crashes reported in 10 days in 1.9 release candidate.
     48  - We may get crash reports every day if we release this.
     49  - We don't have any way to reproduce it.
     50  - Today's report in ChimeraX 1.8 was on an iMac with no external display, probably waking from sleep.
     51  - Could popup a one time warning on Mac with 2 or more displays about crash when changing displays.  But this does not address same crash when computer sleeps -- hard for user to avoid display sleep.
     52  - We don't have any good ideas for handling this crash.
     53  - Greg says PyQt 6.8 won't be out until Qt 6.8.1 comes out.
     54  - Unlikely that Qt 6.8 will fix crash.  No Qt bug reports.  Probably requires Qt app using OpenGL so is rare among apps.
     55
     56* ChimeraX 1.9 milestoned tickets
     57  - Greg and Zach say none of the 15 milestoned 1.9 tickets block release.
     58  - They will work on remilestoning or closing tickets.
     59
     60* Nucleotides tethers fixed
     61  - Greg with Eric's help fixed a tether not going to the ribbon bug with nucleotides.
     62  - Tether was drawn before nucleotides set the atom hide bit.
