Tool for saving the state of the Sway WM session and restoring it.
At the moment, it is a PoC!
For saving the running programs and its workspace disposition run the given command:
sway-session saveIt will create a json file at $XDG_DATA_HOME/sway-session/sessions/.
To restore simply use:
sway-session restoreThe recomendation would be to place at the sway config file something like that:
exec sway-session restore
There is a command for constantly save your session:
sway-session save-loop 120It will save your session every 2 minutes, informed in seconds. If the seconds are not informed it will assume the default value, which is 1 minute.
The recomendation way to use it would be something like:
exec sway-session restore && sway-session save-loop
Considering that a lot of programs have different ways of retrieving it state and restoring it to the desired state,
the sway-session can only offer a generic approach for all the ecosystem and for more specific programs (like terminal-emulators)
to offer some rules with more capabilities.
