How to get the coordinates of every generated conformer?

Hello everyone,

I have been using avogadro for the generation of conformers. After the
conformer search is there a way (through the GUI or using the python
terminal) to save all coordinates without having to select each one from the
list ? I have looked into the manual and even tried to find that information
in the python scripting page (in the wiki), to no avail … I dont need that
every conformer saves its coordinates to a single file, I just want a way to
export the list of coordinates for every conformer.

Thanks a lot and sorry if this is a naïve question,
Paulo

This should be possible using a python extension. I’ll try this and
add it to the wiki if I find time tonight or tomorrow.

I’ve added the example to the wiki:
http://avogadro.openmolecules.net/wiki/Saveconformers.py

However, it requires this commit

to work. If you are using linux you can easily rebuild. In case you
are using windows, you’ll have to wait for 1.0.1 which will be
released in the near future.
