[PyMOL] create new object from selection - version 3.0

[Joel M. <joe...@sy...>]

Hi
I've always found the command allowing you to create a 'cloned' object from a selection to be extremely useful. That is, select a chain (for example) and then use:

Action > copy to object > new

This seems to be disabled in version 3. You can extract a chain that you've selected, but not make a fresh copy. Am I just missing something?

[It also seems a bit strange that submenus now don't disappear as you scroll down the list of possible actions, until you reach the next command that has a submenu - it's a bit disconcerting]

Thanks
Joel
