[ccp4bb] OT: Terminal Command-P

2019-03-31 Thread Paul Emsley
Dear All, Sometime I use a Mac. A niggling issue I have is that, in a Terminal, Command-P doesn't act like Alt-P in (say) a gnome-terminal. I'd really quite like it if it did. If you have worked out how to do this then I'd appreciate if you let us know (actually, I suspect that it's not possibl

I don't think making this GDOR complient is that hard. It's all pretty well defined what you store (everything), where you store it, and why. There are some philosophical problems with allowing users to have their data deleted. Assuming the copy is good enough to reproducing the experiment. Dele

While this may sound absurd, the principle of incremental backups can help out a great deal here. Like Appleā€™s Time Machine, all we need to do is store a copy of the things which have changed rather than the entire facility, which reduces the burden by at least a few orders of magnitude. Such ef

[ccp4bb] Bright future of CIF

2019-03-31 Thread Petr Kolenko
Dear colleagues, As all of you know, CIF will soon be the only acceptable file format in macromolecular crystallography. CIF file has many advantages when compared to traditionally used stone-aged formats like PHS, MTZ, or archaic PDB. One of the advantages is the includability and mergability o

2019-03-31 Thread Petr Kolenko
Dear colleagues, We all are very happy about the storage of raw crystallographic datasets. But, is it really enough? No! Can we do better? Yes, of course! The problem is that the crystal after the measurement is usually burned. It does not make sense to store them any more. But, in order to maxim

I think we can be more specific here: Validation without electron density. One cannot wisecrack from the coordinates only. Otherwise this will be taken as a carte banc against any sort of validation. Best, BR From: CCP4 bulletin board On Behalf Of Robbie Joosten Sent: Sunday, March 3
