Runtime Settings
When you run Phoebus, you may open a tab with the “PV Tree”, enter a PV name, move the window around etc.
When you exit Phoebus, the current location of windows, tabs, and for example the PV name of an active “PV Tree” are stored.
When you later restart Phoebus, it restores the windows with their saved location and content.
Developer Notes
The state is persisted in a memento
file,
located in the same directory as the user preferences.
To change the default from .phoebus/memento
in your home directory
to a different location, see Preference Settings Developer Notes.
To always start Phoebus with a known window layout,
save the memento
from a desired layout,
and then place that saved file in the user preferences directory
before starting a new instance of Phoebus.
