[chimerax-users] MOL2 import

Hello Conrad,

thank you for your reply. Attached is a test file that is causing
problems in ChimeraX (see below for the log). This testfile is a
cut-down version of the original file (containing informations on
docking scores from GOLD suite) that was created in Chimera by saving it
as mol2 file /and manually removing the zeros in line 8/, as Chimera was
sanitizing this line upon saving. If I add the two zeros in the original
file, ChimeraX was loading the structures successfully, still
complaining about the metainformations though.

I'm using version 0.9 (2019-03-12) of Chimera X on Win10 (1809) and was
using Chimera 1.13.1 to generate the testfile.

Thank you and best regards,

Marco
