I like this program, especially since it's open-source. The main things I dislike are: 1. The inability to import molecules by typing in their traditional name (e.g. type in sertraline into an import name dialog and get the sertraline molecule imported automatically, like in the background Molsketch might download its mol file from ChemSpider and import it). ChemAxon's MarvinSketch is able to do this, and I rather like this as it saves me a lot of time and effort downloading molecules from ChemSpider or PubChem and manually importing them. 2. The inability to disable the automatic labelling of terminal carbon atoms (I did have a screenshot to show you but I'm told "URLs in reviews are prohibited") 3. Lacking a few other formatting features, like the ability to choose the distance between lines in double and triple bonds, and downward bonds. 4. The inability to perform basic calculations on molecules, like numbers of each atom, approximate mol mass, logP, etc. I know this is asking a lot of you devs, but if you only have the time to work on just one of these features it will be appreciated with (2) sounding the simplest and most important to me at the moment. Thanks for the opportunity to review this excellent effort at making a great open-source skeletal structure editor.

Hi fusion809! Thanks a lot for your review and sorry for responding so late. 1. I've created a feature request from your review -- please check them out if you like (#24). 2. Terminal methyl groups can be turned off and on as of Version 0.6.0. 3. There is in fact a setting for the distance between lines in double/triple bonds (Bond defaults -> Double Bond Separation) 4. Sum formulae have been added in Version 0.6.0; molecular masses are feature request #25.
