Saving window configurations is deliberately not part of this package. If desktop.el doesn't work for you, find something else (and don't forget reporting about how it went).
I didn't understand your response previously, so I'm answering it again to clarify. desktop-save
works most of the time, but it eventually messes up, and I'd really like to keep all my layouts with their custom names that I made for them. I totally understand that this is not the focus of eyebrowse. I'll look into other solutions and report back. desktop-plus seems interesting. Thanks!
I couldn't find a package that did what I wanted, so I created an eyebrowse
directory to backup my layouts, and a bash alias to easily overwrite the emacs desktop files whenever it messes up. In the future, I can embed this restore functionality on Emacs itself.
Okay! bookmark+ have a helpful command that saves a copy of the desktop and binds it to bookmark: bmkp-set-desktop-bookmark
. It's annoying that Emacs starts saving the desktop in the new file, which misses the point in my opinion. But that can be customized.
I was using desktop-save, but Emacs mess it up from time to time.
