Okay, i seem to have a problem with theese two.

First i run dual monitors and have my own “setup” of the differents windows and tabs on screen. Silly thing is that i cant seem to find anywhere to save like a preset or layout.

Second, when i customize new button bindings the program dosent save them. So i have to set them again after i restart RS. Only solution ive found is to set the commands then export them to desktop and import them upon starting RS.

Been browsing trough the program for a few hours today but cant seem to find anything that fix this

I assume you are working with Visual Studio because you mentioned button bindings etc.

There is an easy command in RobotStudio API to save window configuration: _UIEnvironment.SaveWindowConfiguration(saveconfig);_

saveconfig is the name of a TextWriter Stream to a file. Here you can save the window configuration to a .txt file. Will look something like this:

_\<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?\>_
