Session management is a way to restore your Gimp session that was running
|
|
before you logged out. I.e leave Gimp running logout, and then login. Gimp
|
|
will now along with the Window Manager try to restore the Gimp session you
|
|
that was running before you logged out. You can disable/enable this feature
|
|
with the "Always Try to Restore Session" check button. Remember your desktop
|
|
environment must support session management otherwise this will not work.
|
|
NOTE: If you start Gimp from e.g a script to set special environment variables
|
|
before Gimp is started, then it's not wise too use this option.
|
|
<P>
|
|
Gimp can save it's window positions i.e where e.g the gradient select dialog
|
|
is displayed on your display. If you use the Save Window Position at Exit
|
|
option then Gimp will save the position of e.g the brush dialog (if it is
|
|
opened). It can be useful to arrange your Gimp desktop with this option enabled
|
|
and then restart Gimp and disable the option. You will there by have a consistent
|
|
desktop each time you start Gimp.
|
|
<P>
|
|
If you have a tablet and use it with Gimp you will have several devices that
|
|
you can preconfigure in the
|
|
<A HREF="../input_devices.html">toolbox|File|Dialogs|Device Status</A>. However
|
|
if you use Save Device Status on Exit option then the preconfiguration will
|
|
be over written and the last state before exit will be the new configuration.
