5574	devel install does not replace previous bundle	jingrou.zeng18@…	Greg Couch	"The devel install command should replace the existing installed bundle even if the version number is the same.  Otherwise it is very unfriendly to developers.  Maybe add a force reinstall option and have it default to true.

Hello,

I am working on a selector bundle and need to actively reload it into ChimeraX every time I make changes to the code. I have followed the instructions on the tutorials and successfully loaded my bundle into ChimeraX using 'devel install [path]'. I then tried to reload the bundle after I have made changes to the code with commands 'devel clean [path]' followed by 'devel install [path]'. But ChimeraX didn't receive my update to the bundle. I tried reinstalling ChimeraX, the selector bundle still works without a separate installation and it doesn't register any updates I have made. 

I am using macOS and have experimented with both daily build and 1.2.5. Is there a way of completely removing the old version of my bundle? What is the best way to do bundle reloading and testing in ChimeraX? I also want to use the print command for debugging, but printing doesn't seem to work with the ChimeraX log, is there a separate log for this situation?

Thank you for your help.

Regards,
Katie
