[Chimera-users] Trouble with Marker Sets and Movie Recorder in Chimera 1.4.1 build 30365

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Tom,

   The error opening a marker set is a bug.  It was fixed long ago (soon 
after 1.4.1 came out).  Opening a marker set (*.cmm file) from the File 
/ Open... menu entry on the main Chimera window works correctly in 1.4.1 
but opening it from the Volume Tracer menu File / Open Marker Set... 
gives the error you got.

   The second problem I am unable to duplicate.  In Chimera 1.4.1 on Mac 
the clicking Frame Options triangle in Movie Recorder does make the 
panel of options appear.  I suggest you try the Chimera 1.5 release 
candidate.  If it exhibits the problem use the Help / Report a Bug... 
menu entry.

     Tom
