Feature Request: Save Sessions http://guake.org/ticket/367

Description

I use guake at work as my main terminal and use KDE at home. One feature from konsole that I miss in guake is being able to save the session state, so that all my previously opened and named tabs are restored when I restart guake.

save session could be a great feature

[gsemet]

like it

It am very interested

[gsemet]

What I do for the moment: I have a script with all guake commands used to configure my different tab. I run this in the first guake terminal, and it creates and renames all my tab automatically.

In a near futur, a simple save/restore session mecanism will be implemented.

is there any progress on this?

[gsemet]

Nothing new on this subject for the moment I use a startup script:

sleep 5

guake -r "main" -e "cd ~/projects/"
guake -n "devtools" -r "dev-tools" -e "cd ~/projects/dev-tools"
guake -n "python" -r "ipython" -e "python"
guake -s 0

which is triggered automatically using the hidden gconf key: /apps/guake/general/startup_script

I think i will work on it for 0.6

[AndrewEastwood]

cool :) so, I just create /usr/lib/guake/general/startup_script with commands and it'll work, right?

[gsemet]

no, create it where you want an use gconf-editor to set the path in the /apps/guake/general/startup_script key

[AndrewEastwood]

I'm using ubuntu and there's not any /app/ folder

[gsemet]

man gconf-editor

[AndrewEastwood]

I got it. thanks (:

I've got a solution: I didn't reboot for a month. Works perfectly ;)

@gsemet With this last 0.8.11 milestone removed, what's the plan for this feature request?

Incidentally and with respect to the feature itself, Sublime Text saves its sessions by basically dumping all unsaved tab content into JSON files under its directory in ~/.config/. There are various packages available with this behavior (even written in Python) which could serve as a template or copypaste for this feature in Guake.

[gsemet]

I need this feature myself, so... patience ! :)

[nbozeman]

Let's do it! +1

[rsansores]

hahah feature request since 2013!!!

bump +1

Any update here? :)

~6 years have passed. Did you find a better way to save/open session in Guake (if yes, can you share it?),

Or you lost your patience and used Tmux instead?

[AndrewEastwood]

I believe that thing wont be fixed.

[gsemet]

Hi guys. Yes 6 years has passed, indeed, but I did not saw any contribution from your part on this request. So, I understand this feature would be cool to have, and now the big rework is done, it would actually be quite trivial to do.
However, life is life, I do not have time to work on it for the moment. I barely have time to maintain the code, do the review of volunteers that try to improve Guake instead of just complaining on issues, and merge and do some releases from time to time.

So, if you really want this feature to land in Guake, just open your favorite code editor, Visual Studio code is a marvel nowdays, but vim or Pycharm users are also welcomed. I would be delighted to do your review.

Sorry guys, but I have some diapers to change and other maintainance work to do 😭🍼👶.
This is the kind of release you do not want to miss!

[AndrewEastwood]

looks like a plan. just need a bit of python knowledge :)

[drNoob13]

Sorry guys, but I have some diapers to change and other maintainance work to do sobbaby_bottlebaby.
This is the kind of release you do not want to miss!

Absolutely reasonable. The diaper exchange should be your first priority. This kind of rolling release is time-consuming. :)

I am thinking about writing a script to automate many ROS (Robot Operating System) script executions in a robot client and a host PC based on Guarke. While save/open session function is a way to do it, there is other way to get it done.

[gsemet]

tmux is a good replacement until Guake has this feature :)

[AndrewEastwood]

... but it less convenient

[mlouielu]

This should be done by #1515 & #1528

[hazaeluz]

Is this merge on Master comming officially on next version? or should I just go ahead and get the code/compile and install myself?

[mlouielu]

This feature is published since 3.6.0 and add terminal split save/restore in #1580 (not publish in tag yet, but on master) You can build it by yourself from code, or take a try on `python -m pip install guake --upgrade` hazaeluz <notifications@github.com> 於 2019年5月8日 週三 22:55 寫道：
