Session Save As Default

The default session file is saved in the directory specified by your HOME environment variable. . The file is stored on your desktop on Mac, your "My Documents" folder in Windows, and your ~ directory in Unix. The file name is NclDefaultSessionFile.xml.

When NCLIP is opened, we automatically load your default session file.

To save your current session as a default, either use the Session->Save as Default menu, or type a "control-d". Then the next time you open the system, the default file will be loaded.

To save your parameters, but not your data as the default, do these steps:

  1. Set up your session with a data set.
  2. Delete the data from the session.
  3. Save this blank session as the default.
In this way, your future sessions will have information such as scales, colors, etc. as the default.

If you have just started a new session file, and have not yet saved it, you are in a "No Session File State." Your session file is created when you save it, either as a default file or as a named file.
