Re: [PyMOL] Autosave

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

It looks like strftime('%s') is not valid on Windows (it works fine for me on Linux and macOS). Here is an equivalent alternative that works on all platforms:

    filename = '~/pymol-auto-save-{}.pse'.format(int(time.time()))
    filename = os.path.expanduser(filename)

Binding a key is also easy. Here is an example which binds saving and rendering to the F1 key:

python
@cmd.set_key('F1')
def autosave_and_render():
    filename = os.path.expanduser('~/pymol-auto-save.pse')
    cmd.set('pse_binary_dump')
    cmd.save(filename, quiet=0)
    cmd.ray()
python end


Hope that helps.

Cheers,
  Thomas

However, it was written for a way old version of pymol and so I was wondering if I could get some help with fixing this code up? If that would be too difficult, is there a way that I could bind a key to saving AND then rendering? Or even just clicking on the render button causes it to save before ray tracing? I keep rendering on a weak computer thinking it can handle it and then it crashes and I lose all my progress.
