Close workspace on exit?
« on: November 07, 2006, 12:44:59 PM »
I read some other threads on this but ...

In 11.x - is it possible to not have the workspace opened/restored when you start SlickEdit?

I'm using Sourcegear Vault with SlickEdit and it is really annoying when the project is opened when I start SlickEdit to just view a couple of files and you have to log on, etc.

I would like to see an option "Don't restore workspace" somewhere or some other way to quickly open SlickEdit without restoring the workspace.

I tried to load a simple _exit_xxx macro (_exit_close_wrk() { workspace_close(); }) but it seems that the settings are already saved when the macro executes and doesn't affect the next startup.

And you can of course do "vs.exe -#workspace_close" but that's not really not what I'm looking for, a simple way to disable restoration of the workspace on the next startup.

Check your 'Tools->Options->General-> General tab' settings.
BTW: In case you want to explicitely save a config 'snapshot' you can use gui-save-config.

Well ...

I have already tried that. Even if I untick every "Auto Restore" option, the workspace is opened the next time I start SlickEdit.

Unless I'm blind - I can't seem to find an option to not restore and open the workspace on the next launch ...

Ups - you are right. The last workspace is always opened ...

But in fact you only want to 'disable' your VCS (if I got you right).
(You may need the workspace for tagging support etc.)
So the question is: How to (temp.) disable VCS ?
I afraid this is a question for the Slickteam ...

Or do you want to use Slick also for some quick-edit tasks (as I do) ?
This feature was already requested ...

And have look here:

There seems to be an "auto restore workspace" option under Application Options | Auto Restore in 15.0.1.3 but it doesn't seem to work.  When I set it to "False", close SlickEdit, reopen SlickEdit, the workspace is reopened and the option is reset to "True".  Is this a known issue?  Thanks.

Loading the latest hotfixes fixed the issue (along with a performance issue I was having).  Thanks!
