Windows list

[Bulkin]

Hi!
maybe it's well-known question and exists somewhere in FAQ anyway:
how can I (and can I at all) save my list of opened windows, when I close Developer? I mean, for example, when it crashes, it saves this list and then recovers - so can I do the same manually, without crashing?

Manually - Window --> Save layout

Automatically - Tools --> Preferences --> User Interface --> Options --> Autosave desktop

Hmmm... no.
I have "Autosave desktop" checked in Preferences. Layout is layout - relative positions of SQL window, result window, browser, windows list and so on. Layout is saved OK
When I have query saved in the separate file - yes, it opens as well... and I'd like to save also all those numerous un-named queries in the Windows list - sometimes it could be very useful.
I just want to say - if PLSD save my current list and can recover it after hard crashing - why can't it do the same without crashing, "by query"

In the properties tab of your shortcut add the parameter 'desktop=' to the command line. I use this extensively to save open windows on different db instances using different shortcuts. Saves a lot of time

I'm using projects to handle different window-lists.

Hmmm... Indeed, there is no option to autosave the windows contents the way you want.
There is an "save before compilation" for program windows, but it won't help much.

Tools --> Preferences --> Files --> Backup --> Recovery --> "Save on execute" will flush all data to your disk into a temporary location. Maybe this can be combined with Marco van der Linden's tip, or you could try something with the Browser Extender plug-in.
