Opening two different sets of saved Process Icons
« on: 2017 November 26 11:33:21 »
I have two sets of saved process icons, one set for one camera, another set for a second camera.   What I would like to be able to do is open one set of process icons on one PI workspace, and open another set of process icons on a second workspace.  Is this possible?

Also, how do I open saved process icons on workspace 2?  Every time I open process icons it puts them in workspace 1.

i think the workspace is a property tied to the process icon, and it cant be changed while loading.

the .xspm files are text files though, so with an editor you can go in and change the workspace ID before loading (or actually, merging, cause load would erase all the current process icons on the desktop.)

You are right, I discovered that if I move one set of process icons to workspace 2 and then save them, the next time I open them they will be in workspace 2.  The other problem is that I had some process icons with the same name in both sets, so when I merge (open) both sets some icons get renamed.  Not a big deal.

You can edit the xpsm file in your favorite editor and change the WorkSpace location and position for a multiple icon save. This is done at the end of the file listing.
