Event listening #309

Open pslacerda opened 1 year ago

pslacerda commented 1 year ago

I found no way to listen for session loading, reinitialization, It would be useful for plugins like Views.

Something like Python's atexit module:


from pymol import at_loading, at_reinit

@at_loading
@at_reinit
def my_callee(evt):
    print("This event happened:", evt)

Hi Pedro,

This is something we're currently working toward. We have some C++ events currently, but we're looking to extend this for python scripting as well.

Also, were you able to take a look at the Scene's panel that was introduced to open-source a couple of years ago? It's a very similar premise to the Views plugin and also shows other details like thumbnails.

The Scene panel is very similar to my plugin, however it doen't save scenes on the session like Views.

Ah, didn't know that. PyMOL3's Scene's Panel is much more developed than the one in open-source and does save to session files, but that functionality might've not been brought to open-source yet. I'll be sure to revisit what we have this week.
