[chimerax-users] Implement Crosslinks/pseudobond/distances subselections and/or export

[Pascal Albanese]

Dear ChimearX Users and developers,

I'm using ChimeraX for visualization and analysis of pseudobonds datasets
from Crosslinking-MS and i found new features very useful (min max
selection etc).
I think it would be useful (but i don't know how much effort will be
required) to be able to select subsets of distances (e.g. form 15 to 24
Angstroms, or involving chain A and B) and being able to create and export
these subsets. for instance i have a Complex of A, B and C and i want to
select all pseudo-bonds involving A and B and export them as pb file (to be
able to load them as a separate model lateron). Or to sel min 15 max 24,
and then export them as pb file (with "save" function).

I think it would be really useful for both crosslinks visualization and
analysis (i work with datasets of thousands of crosslinks on big complexes
which make difficult to subselect them, i have to do it with pymol, then
generate subsets and reformat them as .pb files).

i had a look to previous threads, but i didn't found similar topics. If i'm
wrong my apologize.

Thank you!

Pascal
