Session Manager Missing Manual wrote: Use of external icons to identify active sessions:
A. By default, a "Yellow Star" icon is used to indicate the active session (standard or with layout).
B. Optional: If a "SessionManager.ico" is found in <xyicons>, it will be used instead to indicate the active session (standard or with layout).
C. Optional: If a "SessionManager_Layout.ico" if found in <xyicons>, it will be used instead to indicate the active session with layout.

Notes:
• You can use either B. or C., or both, or none.
• <xyicons> usually refers to the following path: "XYplorer\Data\Icons".
• Power users: In case you've changed the name of the original script file "SessionManager.xys" into something else (e.g. "Extras_Session_Manager.xys"), you must rename the icons accordingly (e.g. "Extras_Session_Manager.ico" and "Extras_Session_Manager_Layout.ico").

Session Manager Missing Manual wrote:Explanation of layouts — Notes:

• When using layouts, some sessions may have a layout: Layout Sessions, and some not: Standard Sessions.

• To work with layouts, the only manipulations needed and available are:
— Save or Update the Layout Sessions (the sessions are saved along with their layout).
Optional: (see below for more info)
— Save or Update only the layout of the current session.
— Update the Default Layout.
»»
— Everything else is done automatically behind-the-scenes by Session Manager.

Session Manager Missing Manual wrote:Explanation of layouts — Examples:

• Example 1:
— You have 2 Layout Sessions, saved in Single Pane and with Preview visible; and 4 Standard Sessions for which you'd like to use the default XY layout of Dual Pane and no Preview.
— You have checked the option: "Layouts: Always Load Default Layout (Instead of Last) When Returning to Standard Sessions".
»»
— Each time you leave a Layout Session for a Standard Session, Session Manager will reset the layout by loading the Default Layout.

• Example 2:
— You have 2 Layout Sessions, saved with Single Pane and Preview visible; and 4 Standard Sessions for which you'd like to use the default XY layout, while still remembering your last changes.
— You have unchecked the option: "Layouts: Always Load Default Layout (Instead of Last) When Returning to Standard Sessions".
»»
— Each time you leave a Standard Session for a Layout Session, Session Manager will remember the state of the current layout, by updating its own Last Layout entry, then
— Each time you leave a Layout Session for a Standard Session, Session Manager will reset the layout by loading the previously used Last Layout.

• Example 3:
— Same as 1. or 2. , but instead of using XY's default layout, you'd like your default/base layout to always have the catalog located on the right of the panes.
»»
— Arrange your layout as you like, then define it as the default in "Layout Tools" | "Update Default Layout", then proceed as usual (cf 1. and 2.).

Session Manager Missing Manual wrote:Explanation of layouts — Theory:

• Layout Sessions have their layout stored in their own entry in "SessionManager.ini":
— When they're first saved with a layout, or
— When their layout is created or updated via "Layout Tools" | "Save/Update Layout of Current Session".

• Regardless of any session, Session Manager stores two other layouts:
— A Default Layout, automatically created on first run, then only overwritten manually via "Layout Tools" | "Update Default Layout".
— A Last Layout, automatically updated each time a Standard Session is left for a Layout Session — and only if the following option is unchecked: "Layouts: Always Load Default Layout (Instead of Last) When Returning to Standard Sessions".

• How it works:
— When switching from a Layout Session to another Layout Session, their content is switched, and their layout too.
— When switching from a Layout Session to a Standard Session, their content is switched, but the layout has to be reset somehow.
»» So the layout is reset, either to:
— The Default Layout, if the aforementioned option has been checked, or
— The Last Layout, which was the layout visible while using the last Standard Session in use before a Layout Session was loaded.

Now, just out of curiosity, what's bothering you so much with it? It's not something you see very often and the editable field is auto-selected anyway...
