red box around React arrow

When a reaction is unbalanced, Marvin puts a big red box around the React arrow. This behavior is annoying and unnecessary. Organic chemists rarely balance their equations, after all.

Hello, you can switch it off: Edit / Preferences / Sketching / Unbalanced Reactions.

I suggest that the default value should be off. Organic chemists almost never balance reactions.





It's more trouble to turn it off every time I relaunch desk-top Marvin or Alchemist than it is just to leave it on.

Hi Bob,


The "reactionErrorVisible" display property controls highlighting (or hidding) error by unbalanced reactions.


You can set it through GUI: Edit / Preferences / Sketching / Unbalanced Reactions


or via API: MarvinPane.setReactionErrorVisible(boolean).





Normally, Marvin applications save the value of this property by exit. But it is problematical under OS X.


If you exit from sketcher by "Quit MarvinSketch" (standard exit command under OS X), Marvin settings will not be saved.


In this case the program terminates immediately (and no time to save anything).


You can read more about it in the linking topic.

We are checking how to solve this issue.





On the other hand, we have considered your suggestion to set the defaulf value of reactionErrorVisible to false. We will do it (independently from the above Mac issue).
