Neema,
This is a fundamental limitation in PyMOL's current architecture...
B factors are an atomic rather than a coordinate property. It may be
possible to address this in the future, but not yet...sorry.
The clusy workaround is to load each PDB file into a separate object
(using a Python script), but due to memory considerations, this may not work
for large proteins and long trajectories. (Be sure to "set
static_singletons, off" if you try this).
Cheers,
Warren
