save session

[ThomasBergk]

Hello,

I'm trying to save a dataset with the associated diagramm in a manual way without using a vbs-script. That could be interesting for VIEW and the REPORT.

Is it in principle possible to save a session with data and diagramm?

Thank you in advance,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

your information are not very comprehensive.

If you changed the data in the data portal or the VIEW or REPORT layout, DIAdem will ask you you, if you want to save the data bevor you close the software.

You can save a layout or the content of the data portal during the runtime of DIAdem with the regular save command.

Everything else needs to be done in VBS.

Hello Stephan,

for sure Diadem ask if I want to save the data or the layout of View or Report.

For example you have load data in the data portal. Then you work with that data and build up some graphs and axis-systems. Thereby you load some channels into the axis-systems. After that you have the worst case: your boss want to see you (only a example ;-)). As you come back, the session you had work with is gone.

Is there any solution to restore that old session you had work time before?

Thanks a lot,

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

I can offer you a custom script that creates a new icon you can use to "Save the DIAdem State" so that you can go back to it after restarting DIAdem or your computer.

But there's no way to do this without either a script or manually saving each item and manually loading each item.

Hello Thomas,

There is an example in the DIAdem help system (it's been around for a while) that creates a "Save Session" function:

Please note that this function is an example, and only saves the files currently open ion the various DIAdem panels. It does not save the state of the Calculation Manager, internal variables, Unit settings and other various items that can be edited by the user in a DIAdem session.

It should do what you ask though, so I think it might be a viable thing to try in your particular situation.

I hope that helps ...

Hello Otmar,

thank you for your help.

I did not know that there is a simple button like you describe in the Version 2014 of Diadem. That is what I am searching for. But it seems to be that there is no support of that option in earlier Version than 2014? However with the Version of 2014 it works.

Many Thanks,

Thomas
