comparing with the old version ( I used CCP4 6.0.2 on my windows xp computer and finished my Ph.D projects.), I found the new version of coot is kind of slow in moving to the next residue of the structure by hitting the space. Can we adjust this to make it faster?
Yes. Edit -> Preferences -> Smooth Recentering -> Number of Steps -> 10 Also: http://www.biop.ox.ac.uk/coot/doc/coot/Slow-Computer-Configuration.html#Slow-Computer-Configuration
also the automatic stepped refinement is amazing, I really like it. Is there anyway to pause it in the middle?
Not in 0.5.x
( I guess this is the same scenario for the other automatic refinement in the extensions -- post MR refinement methods ).
In 0.6-pre there is.
my personal experience is , if I touch any button, it will freeze and the coot window become grey- invisible , but from the scripts window, I can see it is still running.
Yes, me too.
It will remain this until the job is done. then I can see the structures again. This also happen if my PC comes up with screen saver , the coot window will not be visible again even the PC is out of screen saver mode.
Not seen that...
can we use the new version of the coot to break and build bonds?
No, not in the sense that I think you mean it, anyway. HTH, Paul.
