How to save editor state?

I’m getting tired of having to re-set things in the editor and various windows every time I open my project. Examples of states/options that don’t save from session to session:

  • Filter quick select in Content Browser - the color coded buttons at the top of the window just below the search bar. I have to re-select the item types from this window every time I restart the editor.
  • Window position - content browser always opens to main screen over main editor window, but I always close it full screen on my second monitor.
  • Color wheel theme - I was able to get 3 colors saved there a while back and they are always there (luckily they are the 3 most used for my game). However, I’ve added other colors here numerous times and they always go away with a restart
  • View options in content browser - I don’t have a lot of assets since I just use what Epic provides to play around so I don’t need tons of folders hiding stuff. I constantly have to go back in here and un-check ‘Show Folders’
  • Show Stats in main editor window - useful for Blutilities scripts, but always off at editor launch

These are just the things I can think of off the top of my head right now, I know there are others as well. Strange thing is, at least one of the example projects saves at least my window positions. Is it possible there’s a file I have in my project that’s in source control and can’t be written, but the editor never warns me? I don’t have sample projects in P4.

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, I think I answered my own question. Hadn’t thought of it until I wrote the question above, but it is files locked down by source control it seems.

I took a look inside …\Saved\Config\ and noticed a ton of potential user setting files that were not checked out. I checked them out, opened the editor and re-set the things that were bothering me (everything listed in the OP), closed and re-opened and BAM! they were saved.

Would be nice to have a warning when the user opens the editor that those need to checked out to save the editor state similar to the Project Settings files. Anyway, answered. Karma for me! :slight_smile:
