Re: [PyMOL] exporting/saving .obj and .mtl

[Thomas H. <tho...@sc...>]

Hi Verena,

You're not doing anything wrong. Generation of .mtl output is not implemented.

Of course saving an empty file is useless and confusing. We should remove the (non-functional) .mtl export and raise a warning if someone tries to save an .mtl file.

Cheers,
  Thomas
