Re: [PyMOL] which PyMOL to open?

Hi all,

Thanks to Dheeraj, Jordan and Jed for your advice!

I don't think I installed any "extra" options, just educational-use-only 
PyMOL (version 1.7.4.5, x64) on Windows 10.

In the Windows 10 Start Menu folder, all of the 3D options are in a 
subfolder called "Stereo 3D Launch," so I think it's safe to say that 
all of those shortcuts are "special" and not "typical."

That leaves just 4 options, and of those, "Full Screen" and "Viewer 
Only" seem pretty straightforward.

That only leaves "PyMOL + Tcl-Tk GUI" and "PyMOL + Tcl-Tk GUI + 
Console." It looks like the shortcuts point to the same program, but the 
Console shortcut has an extra switch at the end: "C:\Program 
Files\PyMOL\PyMOL\PymolWin.exe" +2 -J. The GUI-only shortcut doesn't 
have the +2 switch, just the -J switch.

I don't know what the +2 switch does, or what the -J switch does for 
that matter, but I think I'm just going to use the "PyMOL + Tcl-Tk GUI + 
Console" option in the Start Menu for my everyday PyMOL use.

When I open either of these two shortcuts, they look exactly the same to 
me anyway.

Thanks for everyone's help!

AJ
