this is exactly what i wanted to have since i've used computers with multiple windows. (hey, i started with *-DOS:) but, isn't this still a problem in the application ? (haven't looked/followed on this since years) some apps do and some don't save information (or allow control from outside) on what files were open, where the cursor was, undo/redo, etc... (i assume window positioning can globally be saved by the window manager) and to tell the apps which saved "workspace" to open, i fear that it will never happen that major floss apps agree on an api to control this from outside. (even lash[0] is not much used, and there are not so many apps in audio space) but i really hope i'm just too deep in my cave and missed something, and it's already (at least, in near future) possible to save the states of an application in a workspace/file/what ever... <obligatory web search> found a really interesting tool: http://cryopid.berlios.de/ sounds like a solution to use right away, hmm... cheers .andre [0] http://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/lash ps. i have been playing with the idea to make these "workspaces" in a virtual machine (one workspace = one virtual machine), so i would have 100% the same workspace as i left it (cause the vm is just "freezed"). but waiting for like 4 OS'es to boot _after_ the main OS, doesn't sound much fun... _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
