I wasn't planning on another release until I finished updating the program to version 2.0 - but, there is a small bug that will show up with the new Gromacs protein. It is caused by a problem I fixed everywhere in the program due to the different file structure of Gromacs... missed one spot. The routine that checks for the xyz file so you can save a copy of new stuff has an error. If you uncheck the box in the options menu, the problem goes away. Or, just install this new version and it fixes the issue.

Thanks weatherman.

I have a suggestion / question for a future update. It's in regards to how the program averages the frame times. It seems that it takes the last 3 or 4 frames to figure the frame time. Is that the case? I was wondering if you could make it average every frame in the WU to get a more accurate measure, possible? Or you could make it an option, I know it might take a few more cycles. thanks.

It's difficult to know exactly how to calculate the frame rates.
I hate to make any change that won't benefit the user some way.
I'm sure it plays hell if you use your system a lot for other things.
Gaming and things like that can cause wide swings.
EM does try to take that into account, but it isn't perfect. ;)
Thanks for the suggestion... I'll keep it in mind.

great job, is there any way to make EMIII automatically take pics of the protiens, so when the html file is created, I don't have a bunch of blank spots. Thnx again

The reason it is manual is because the image can be adjusted and it is a "subjective" thing. If you have EM save the proteins, just drag the file to the protein window and drop it. EM will draw the image. Press the camera button, and it's done. I may add an "auto option" ... :)
