[chimerax-users] Apply dust command to entire timeseries

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Brandon,

 It looks like Chimera preserves the hide dust settings when playing a volume series, but ChimeraX does not.  That is because hide dust was recently added to ChimeraX.  I’ll make a feature request to preserve hide dust settings when playing a volume series.  But for now Elaine’s suggestion to use perframe is the way to do it.
