| − | =Manual Setup= | + | == Features == |
| − | In the PyMOL menu naviagte to '''Plugins''' > '''Plugin Manager''' <br>
| |
| − | Here you can manually add directories or scripts that will be loaded upon startup.<br>
| |
| − | Older versions have a basic version of this manager: '''Plugin''' > '''Manage Plugins''', however, here the scripts need to be added individually.<br>

| − | ===Creating run_on_startup.py===
| |
| − | '''run_on_startup.py''' can easily be created using a text editor such as notepad. The '''run_on_startup.py''' is handled similar to [[Pymolrc|pymolrc]] files and is executed every time PyMOL launches. An important distinction is that '''run_on_startup.py''' is executed before the [[Pymolrc|pymolrc]] files and is purely written in python.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The recommended location of '''run_on_startup.py''' is the [[PYMOL_PATH|PyMOL home directory]]. An advantage is that should PyMOL be installed on a computer with several users, this will be run for all users, while the pymolrc files can be individual (e.g. in the USER directory).

| − | Note that this block will also add the '''Pymol-script-repo''' and the subfolder '''Pymol-script-repo/modules''' to PyMOL's search path. This is something that is required in earlier PyMOL version to allow import of scripts. Thus this version of '''run_on_startup.py''' can be used for older versions, too.
