NAME

Save - the AfterStep desktop-layout saving module

SYNOPSIS

Save is spawned by AfterStep, so no command line invocation will work.

DESCRIPTION

When called, this module will attempt to save your current desktoplayout into a file called .xinitrc.Usually, you will have to edit it to get a useable configuration, so be sure tokeep a backup of your old .xinitrc.
Your applications must supply certain hints to the X window system.Emacs, for example, does not, so Save can't get any information from it.
Also, Save assumes that certain command line options areglobally accepted by applications, which may not be the case.

AND DON'T FORGET AFTERSTEP ALREADY SAVES DESKTOP INTO~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/.windows file, called from autoexec !

Using both Save and AfterStep default saving will save twice the same window,therefore open it twice on next startup !

INITIALIZATION

During initialization, Save will eventually search a configuration file which describes the time-outs and actions to take.

INVOCATION

Save can be invoked by inserting the line 'Save' in"~/GNUstep/Library/AfterStep/start/Modules/Save desktop" file.It can be bound to a menu or mouse button or keystroke in feel file to invokeit later.AfterStep will search directory specified in the ModulePath configurationoption to attempt to locate Save.

CONFIGURATION OPTIONS

Sorry, but there is none at the moment.Moreover, which options could be useful ?
