The membrane information should be hidden by default about icn3d HOT 7 CLOSED

JIYAO. Please NO ... many requests are OK but some are not when presented as "the" option. We may want to improve Preferences. That may be the right way to address some demands. and we may want to request our users also to propose and think about how to improve for all not just for their preferences to be the option of even the default but allow them to set preference and their defaults. SANDRA. please consider when you have a request that you may not speak for all, certainly here not for me or for many users dealing with membrane proteins. This example might be a little weird as the structure seems above the extracellular (red) membrane ... not sure what it is if a bug or if simply a membrane surface protein domain ... it is extremely important that people know when a structure is a membrane protein and its position vs a membrane, and if some info should be available to students, their teachers and researchers all among 135,000 users. Jiyao is very cooperative and sometimes overrides even my choices with others' choices . We have been developing iCn3D with that interactive mode but we need a minimum of balancing now that a new generation of active users is developing OK. So please always consider that your choices are subjective and try to see if you can propose something that fits diverse choices. This can be a PREFERENCE not a dictat. I am glad Sandra and others use the software for students and provide input. In fact, I am glad I am not always the bearer of bad news with bugs or that I am not the only one ... BUT we need a process here to balance requests and evaluate them. SORRY if I have not been more active lately in channelling and tampering requests and making them more universal, but we need some level of understanding on how to enable users requests for the community as a whole and projecting with future developments.

Too much talk here sorry the solution is preferences meaning users set THEIR defaults tgat is what prefernces are. What is there else to discuss. We would slso need volunteers to help ckeanup data wher it is needed
