Where does winbox save opened windows counts/positions/sizes etc ?

Wed Oct 03, 2018 3:29 pm

Hi,

Does any one know where winbox saves which windows I've opened and its position and size?
I would like to transfer them to different computers I'm using. That way I don't have to resize realign them all over again.

While at it, is it possible to make some kind of default template?
That way when I connect to new unit (new ip) it would open up certain number of windows and position them automatically.

Thank you.

Daniel.

These are stored in session files. Check documentation here: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Winbox (ctrl-f session).

Another explanation from user joegoldman earlier today:

viewtopic.php?t=45934&p=690159#p690159
The ability to force CPU, uptime, date etc on all winbox sessions.
Instead of having to do it individually
Create a 'viw' /session, with those things enabled (And maybe your favourite screens setup and layed out), then use that as your default session view, along with unticking autosave so no matter what you do in that session it resets next time you log-in.

I have 5 or 6 different sessions, some set up for BGP routers, others for Shapers, for PPPoE Servers etc, to give me relevant information as quick as possible.

Thank you.
And that link helped me understand better about the use of the viw.
