Options - Sessions

These options govern how AQT Saves / Opens sessions.

Save Session on Close

To save your session when AQT closes, select one of the following:

• Prompt to Save. This is the recommended option. It allows you to select whether or not you wish to save the session.
• Show full Save dialog. When this is specified the full Save Session dialog will be shown
• Save without Prompting. When this is specified, AQT will save your session automatically when AQT exits.
• Save Session when Windows shuts down. When this is selected, AQT will save your session (without prompting) when Windows shuts down, restarts or you log off you session.

  It is recommended that you use this option when you are using Prompt to Save - if Windows shuts down when you are not at the computer, you will not be able to respond to this prompt and your session will not be saved.

Open Last Session when AQT starts

If you have a saved session,

• Automatically open last Session. AQT will open the last session without prompting. It will do this only if you have a single saved session - if there are multiple saved sessions, you will be shown the Open Session dialog to select the session.
• Prompt to open last Session. This is the recommended option. AQT will prompt you whether or not to open the last session.
• Always show the Open Session dialog. When this option is selected, AQT will show the full Open Session dialog. This will allow you to select a session to open (such a permanently-saved session).

If there is a saved session, AQT will delete it once AQT starts, irrespective of whether you have opened it.

Open a particular Session when AQT starts

You can use this to open a particular session when it starts. Select a session from the drop-down list.

As there are separate sessions for 32-bit and 64-bit AQT, there are options here for both architectures.

When this option is selected, Save Session on Close, Open Last Session and Auto Save Session options are ignored.

Automatically Save Session

When Auto Save Session is selected, AQT will save the state of your session to disk continuously during your session. This means you will not lose your work should AQT terminate unexpectedly.

The option Save state every xx seconds specifies the frequency for which AQT checks for / saves change to the state of your session. If this is set to 60 (eg. 1 minute) then you could lose up to a minutes work should AQT crash.

This option can be resource intensive, so not recommended for normal use.
