[chimerax-users] Change default volume display settings?

[Tom Goddard]

Hi Oliver,

  Currently ChimeraX does not have a way to save different volume display settings, like always using step 1.  I'd like to add a command to do that.  There is a "volume settings #3" command that reports the settings being used for a specific map.  I've made a feature request for saving settings

Also it would be interesting to add SEQCROW capability Tony Schaefer described to run certain commands when a model of a given type (volume, atomic structure) are opened to the ChimeraX core.

Or more generally, have a script that executes when a file of a particular type is loaded - similar to how the startup commands are executed when ChimeraX is started, but triggered by the opening of a particular filetype and applied to that particular model?
