What Emacs version are you on? Window configurations are stored in the frame, desktop.el
only supports restoring such variables as of Emacs 24.4.
I haven't tested out ivy much and searching for ivy-views on the web gives me porn and gardening results. I'm open to adding it to the README though.
I use GNU Emacs 25.2.1 (x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2017-04-24.
You haven't? Ivy is great in all regards. You need to install ivy/counsel/swiper packages to harness all the power. There are also quite some third party counsel-XXX packages. In a sense it's quite similar to helm, but ivy is minibuffer centric while helm is buffer centric. To me it feels much more native than helm, but ultimately it's a matter of taste I think.
You need to search for "ivy views emacs" in google but here are the links Ivy was a part of swiper, but they are now separate packages but on github they still seem to be combined: https://github.com/abo-abo/swiper Here is the article on ivy-views: https://oremacs.com/2016/06/27/ivy-push-view/
I just checked those links but don't see a way to persistently store ivy-views-- getting them back after restarting emacs. An ivy extension that does this kind of desktop configuration saving would be very useful, especially one that handles indirect buffers.
Yes, but I don't see how I can be of any help there. Therefore I'm closing this.
To persistently store ivy-views, you can use desktop-save-mode and save the variable.
Did I understand correctly that when I set
(desktop-save-mode 1)
then the window configs should be saved in the .desktop file, right? My desktop is saved and restored via desktop-save-mode, but the window config is gone. Is there a step that I'm missing?After restore:
It's not a display problem of powerline (anymore), as you can see in pure modeline, the window configs are not restored:
Would you agree that ivy-views is an alternative? If so you might mention it in the readme. For the moment I use it as a workaround to save window configs.
