<div><br>
</div>
<div> Ok, I added a "Clear file history" menu entry, in tomorrow's (March 28, 2023) ChimeraX daily builds. You right click on the panel of thumbnail images and you will see this new menu entry. It doesn't allow you to delete specific thumbnails. But at
least you can clear them all without searching for the hidden history file.</div>

I could add a menu entry when you right click on the file history thumbnails to clear all the history. Would that be useful? Or do you just want to remove some of them? Unfortunately when I looked at allowing you to remove individual thumbnails it proved
difficult, because that panel is a actually an HTML browser, and figuring out which thumbnail you clicked on or selected and getting it from Javascript in the HTML page into Python (which ChimeraX is written in) is not simple.<br>
