NMRViewJ 9.2.b2 Now available

[brucej]

NMRView J 9.2.b2 is now available.

I've bumped the version number from 9.1 to 9.2 because there are significant changes in the Project menus.  A common source of confusion when I would do training courses was understanding that all individual Projects must reside in a Projects folder.  I've now relaxed that so that a Project folder can be placed anywhere.  Doing this should simplify use of projects, but there is now no list of projects in the project browser.  As an alternative, there is now a Recent... menu item that will list recently opened (up to 20) projects.  Selecting one from the menu will open it.  It's also now easier to start analyzing data and then save the data into a new project (with the Save...) menu item.  The new project use is now described in the online manual.  I welcome, as always, feedback on this change.

A new version of NMRFx Processor is also available and I'll be posting a list of changes for it on its mailing list.

cheers,

Bruce

Changes can be seen at:

http://www.onemoonscientific.com/whatsnew/nmrviewj_news.html

and are listed below:

Titration Analysis

        Fix saving titration information to saveframe in STAR file

Peak Analysis

        Add tool to check for symmetrical peaks in Filter tool

Resonance Table

        Add menu item to show standard deviation of shifts for each nucleus based on assigned atoms with more than two shifts.

        Result printed in console.  Useful for getting an error estimate for chemical shift assignments.

Projects

        Major update to simplify project management.

        Projects are no longer required to be organized under a Projects directory

        Move command buttons from Project Browser to File>Project menu

        Add Recent Projects menu item.  This essentially substitutes for choosing projects in Project browser

Spectrum Display

        Add display of spectrum title on contour plot spectra

        Add menu item to turn on/off titles on all spectra in grid (in Canvas>Arrange Spectra) menu

        Add vx and  vy key bindings to set dataset dimension on x or y axis

                like: vxN put N dimension on x axis

                        vx2 put 2nd dimension on x axis

        Add Vc,Ve,Vf,Vi,Vo,Vp key bindings:  same as lower case versions, but apply to all spectra in toplevel window

        Add vu key binding: unify plot limits of all spectra in toplevel window

Rate Analysis

        Put residue number in Data2 Table when measuring peaks (rather than when fitting all).

        Useful when exporting table for external analysis.

        Fix loading rate analysis information to saveframe in STAR file

        Allow deleting rows ( and corresponding peaks) from data2Tbl.

HetNOE analysis

        Allow using hetnoe with a pseudo 3D dataset (assumes plane 1 is ref)

Hi Bruce,

I downloaded the newest version of NMRViewJ after having used an older version of NMRViewJ for a long time, so perhaps these issues have been around for a while.... but I can't help but notice that a lot of the shortcut keystrokes are gone (such as using 'e' to expand between the cursors within a spectrum) - is there a way for me to turn those back on?  Also, it looks like my tcl scripts no longer work.  Please advise.

Thanks,

Karin

Karin,

from the online docs ( http://www.onemoonscientific.com/nvjChunks/chap05.html#leanpub-auto-key-bindings ) :

Multi-key bindings

Earlier versions of NMRViewJ supported key bindings (actions initiated by pressing a key on the keyboard) that involved the press of single keys (e for exapnd, f for full etc.). Starting with NMRViewJ build 9.1.0-b48 key bindings are available that can involve pressing two or more keys in sequence. This new mode must be activated by setting a preference (which may already be turned on in your running version). Go to the Spectra section of the Preferences dialog and turn on “Extra key bindings”. These key bindings are currently under development and the behaviour, and possibly key sequence choices may change in the next few versions based on user feedback.

Cheers,

Stéphane
