New folder and subfolder naming schemes
Updates to previous releases
The key differences in functionality between this and the previous v1.3.2-production release previously issued on this site are additions to the built-in CT viewer functionality. In particular, given a specific CT file loaded in the Folder (SUb)Window on the right-hand-side of the main application window, we now have the options to:
- Export the CT file format to both DOT (aka Dot Bracket / DB) and FASTA (plaintext / ascii) file formats;
- View the (loosely-grouped) raw ACGU sequence (i.e., without the implied pairings) in an initial subwindow which is now concurrently displayed with the CT format viewer that was present in the prior releases;
- Continue to view the CT file pairings as they have been displayed in the past few relevant releases.
A screenshot of the visual differences in form factor and functionality is shown for reference below:
Install notes
I will be updating the MacOS Homebrew packages to reflect the new source code revisions shortly (And, done: ✔️). As always, for user documentation on all supported methods of installation procedure, be sure to reference the most recent pages on our project WIKI site.
NOTE THAT THE INCLUDED BINARY DEB PACKAGE INSTALLATION METHOD IS ABSOLUTELY UNSUPPORTED FOR USERS (DEVELOPERS ONLY)!
Hints to those who brave an unsuccessful install using this method include: 1) a from-source install (e.g., NOT the latest Debian package) for FLTK v1.4.x is needed on the system in question; and 2) the package does not install all of the necessary dependencies to get this method of binary distribution up and running on most untouched systems. However, it SHOULD work if you have completed a previous (recent-ish) install of RNAStructViz from source on the Debian variant Linux box you are working with. Additional hints as to what key packages are required before installing via the linked .deb package are suggested by reading this from-source install document for Linux users.
