5. Autosave Workspace

Working in complex Enterprise environments requires users to open multiple application frames and numerous Query and SSH windows to do their work. Once a user has configured his workspace, productivity reaches optimal levels.  It is inefficient and frustrating for users to manually reconfigure their workspace each time the application is restarted or in the case of the application unexpectedly closing. It gets even more difficult to create a standard workspace for a user who has to work from office and home or who uses multiple computers. For these reasons, we have now included the functionality to save and reload the user's workspace in Aqua Data Studio v10.0.

How to maintain your organized workspace in Aqua Data Studio?

• Select the option to save the current workspace [Restore windows and tabs], so that at the end of an Aqua Data Studio session, the workspace(application windows, editor tab content and workspace layout) is saved and automatically reloaded the next time the application is started. 
• With the new option Prompt User for the window close button, Aqua Data Studio will also confirm the exit of the application.
• With the latest version, when the workspace is reloaded at start, the editor contents (SQL, Text, HTML, XML, Java and JavaScript) are restored even if they are not associated with a file. For example, if a user has entered text and has not saved the file (indicated by Untitled) and ADS is restarted, the contents of the Untitled file will be displayed on reload. The user is not prompted to save the file and the contents of an unsaved file are not lost.
• Save Workspace enables users to have a more simplified application framework that increases development and operational productivity.

What's new?

Saving Workspace	Saving Workspace Options

Added new options File->Options->General->Workspace-> in Aqua Data Studio v10.0:

Behavior of window close button 

 Select what happens when you click on the main window Close button.  Either Exit Application, Close Window, Minimize Windows or Prompt User.

Restore windows and tabs    

 When this option is selected, Aqua Data Studio restores window and tab arrangement on the next start

Confirm exit of application 

 When this option is selected, Aqua Data Studio displays a confirmation before the application exits.

Multiple Frame Window

Aqua Data Studio allows multiple Query Analyzer frame windows to be opened in the same instance of an application. A new default key binding to "New Frame Window" is added in the latest version. With Ctrl-Alt-N new frame windows can be easily opened.

With the latest version, you can open and work on multiple Query Windows, PDF viewers, Compression Tools all at the same time. You can also configure the way the applications Minimizes or Exits.

• The Minimize Windows behavior on clicking close button is really helpful for a Power User who opens multiple Query Window frames, PDF Viewer, Compression Tool, ER Modeler and works on multiple tabs. If multiple frame windows are opened and the user clicks on the close button on any of the Aqua Studio Main Frame windows, all the frame windows would minimize. This prevents the accidental closing of the application without saving work.
• If the user wants to exit the application, he can go to File --> Exit or use key board shortcut Alt-F and X.
