[chimerax-users] suggestion

Hello,
I recently requested via Phil Cruz the 'tile' command, which I learned it was recently introduced. I have been using it successfully. However, there are two points I would like to bring to your attention (I asked Phil to ask you, but not sure he reached out)

1) when a session is saved as .cxs and I quit the program, after opening it again, the most important feature of the 'tile' command (rotations around each own axis) is lost. The tile distribution is still there, but now the entire thing rotates around a common axis. I need to apply 'tile' again to make it work, but this resets all the modifications I made in the saved session (these modifications include those in point 2 below).

2) any chance to add an argument to the 'tile' command so that the default spatial distribution, which assigns a 'distance' between near neighbors, can be adjusted with, say, 'zoom in" or "zoom out" or crowd in/out? I noticed the default puts each panel too far away from its neighbors for my taste, so I need to "move" them to make them look closer to one another.

thanks
s
