[chimerax-users] where is my saved image

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Yanyong,
ChimeraX has a "pwd" command to report the current working directory.  The file would go there.
<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/pwd.html>

You don't have to save all files there, however; instead you can give a pathname in the "save" command, e.g.

save ~/Desktop/a.png [... other options ...]

(Desktop folder under user's home directory on a Mac; would be different for other systems)  

Or you can use the ChimeraX "cd" command to change the current location, e.g.

cd ~/Desktop
save a.png  [... other options ...]

<https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/cd.html>

If you are on a Mac I believe ~/Desktop is already the default location.
I hope this helps,
Elaine
