[PyMOL] Can I use the mouse to control multiple windows?

[Michael G. L. <ml...@um...>]

Longshot, but ..

I'm looking at a structure under two different sets of conditions, so I 
have two PyMOL windows open.  I'm constantly get_view and set_view[*] to 
synchronize the two windows.  Is there some way to set things up so that I 
can drag things around in one window and have the scene in the other 
window automatically follow along?

Thanks,

[*] actually, I'm a bit lazier than that .. I now have this run via my 
.pymolrc:

VIEW_FILENAME = '/tmp/currentview.txt'
def gv():
     '''write current view to a file (default /tmp/currentview.txt)'''
     # '...%s...'%VIEW_FILENAME doesn't end up as gv.__doc__
     f =  file(VIEW_FILENAME,'w')
     f.write(str(cmd.get_view()))
     f.close()
def sv():
     '''read current view from a file (default /tmp/currentview.txt)'''
     # '...%s...'%VIEW_FILENAME doesn't end up as sv.__doc__
     f = file(VIEW_FILENAME)
     cmd.set_view(f.read())
     f.close()
cmd.extend('gv',gv)
cmd.extend('sv',sv)


so I can type 'gv' in one window and 'sv' in the other.
