[chimerax-users] Default movie image directory

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Daniel,

  ChimeraX is probably using the Python standard tempfile module to make the directory for the images it is saving.  So if you searched online for where python tempfile makes directories that could help find it.  A more direct method would be just record a brief movie and see where it puts it.   I see in the movie command documentation there is a movie status command, so try “movie record ; movie status ; movie reset” and see what it logs.  I got /var/folders/randomstuff....
