Problem opening multiple files at once

[fredauski]

I have a custom command style_dd to style .cube files that contain a difference density, which is defined as:

alias style_dd volume $1 style surface level 0.0025 color #CC0022 level -0.0025 color #CCBE00

Adding an Open Command entry for the Gaussian cube grid and the regex \.cisdp\d*\.cube works, but only if I open a single file at a time.

When I select two .cube files to open at the same time, the Open Command is not being run, as it is set to parent, which in Chimerax is called group by default:

Changing the mode to children applies the style_dd command, but to the two surfaces of the .cube grid itself, resulting in an error:

Is there a way to resolve this? Maybe I am misunderstanding something about how to select the models?

Thanks in advance, I enjoy your tool quite a lot!

Thanks for reporting this. It looks like there's an issue with how OpenCommands is applying filters. When parent is selected, it will run the commands only if the top-level parent model matches the criteria (group in this case), and when children is selected, it will run the command on the surface models that are children of the cube models. I think there are probably workarounds for these cases, but I'll work on a patch for this.
