Hi, I want o task if its possible to restore previous ion session ( tob explicit, i created some workspaces, puted in nice order programs etc. and suddenly i have to restart computer, so i have to reorganize workspaces again). I havent found appropriate module or ion function to do this. Regards Lukas

Having applications start in the "right" frame is another problem though. I understand that it can be solved with kludges etc, but I haven't bothered so I can't help you unfortunately.

Hi, > Thanks, unfortunately i havent mentioned that im using ion2 > not ion3 so no ioncore.snapshot ... i think its time to move to ion3 Both versions save workspaces' layouts to lua files, when doing clean exits. IIRC both provide with a menu option to save / load workspaces in that file. ~/.ion2/default-session/workspaces.lua ~/.ion3/default-session--0/saved_layout.lua What I did was saving the layouts I like then removing write authorizations on that file with chmod so it wouldn't get overriden on exit.

Right, application information isn't saved.
You need a session manager (and SM aware applications) to have
applications automatically saved and restored.
Getting applications to start in the correct frames when they do start up
(manually or automatically) requires winprops/kludges be set up (as was
previously mentioned).

Once your layout frames have names, and you know your favorite apps' names and classes via xprop, you can setup kludges. You can find examples for kludges.lua files on the Net: http://aperiodic.net/phil/configs/ion2/kludges.lua http://daelstorm.thegraveyard.org/ion2/ion2.html Some apps may or may not have X names and classes, or they may be duplicate. The typical example is emacs : if you want to open several windows in different places, you have to set command-line args to set them. The kludges then work as a charm. -- -- Sylvain Abélard "J’ai décidé d’être heureux, c’est meilleur pour la santé." -Voltaire

Thanks again, yep for sure should be META+R, but problem was in {x=10,y=10,w=100,h=100} now works fine.
