1.2 Layout Files

If you repeatedly open the same sessions each time you run Accessory Manager or if you have sized your session windows to meet your personal needs, you might want to create layout files to make working with Accessory Manager even easier.

Using layout files, you can save information about all open session windows and their current positions. When you open a layout file, all the session windows are displayed in the same size and position in which they were saved.

To save a layout

  1. If a session is not already open, open one.

  2. From the File menu, click Save Layout.

  3. Complete the Save Layout dialog box.

To open a layout

  • From the File menu, click Open Layout and complete the Open Layout dialog box.

    -or-

    Right-click the Accessory Manager application window, then click Open Layout from the pop-up menu and complete the Open Layout dialog box.

    NOTE:Any UTS, T27, or ALC sessions included in a layout file should be configured to use a specific InfoConnect path. If the session is not configured to use a specific InfoConnect path, be sure to select a unique path for each session when prompted. When you open a layout file, paths in use by other sessions in the layout file are not omitted from the Select InfoConnect Path dialog box. If you select a path in use, an error message appears, and you must click the session, click Connect from the Session menu, and double-click a valid path in order to connect to the host.
