How to disable Layouts from saving each time I close Logos?

I only want Logos to save a layout when I save it.

Thank you,

Karl

    Kari, I believe that this feature is built into the software and it cannot be disabled. I actually prefer it this way as it automatically keeps my latest work. If you wish to keep the other layout I would suggest that you save it as a named layout.

    Hey Karl, you can do this pretty easy.    

    1.  Go to tools

    2. Click on program settings

    3. Should be the top option, click on the arrow and select start with blank lay out

                        This should work if you have any more questions just ask.  Have fun!!

    Mathew,

    Sorry, it does not work.  It keeps adding entries to the Layouts List. 

    What makes this so annoying is that my Save Layouts are at the bottom of the list and I have to keep deleting the "Application Closed" entries it keeps inserting into the top of the list.

    Please fix this and thank you!

    I also choose to delete "application closed" and "snapshot" shortcuts on the right side panel, but the "now" is always at the top and the last time I updated a layout is always available on the left side.  The other shortcuts on the right are mere conveniences in case a power outage or some other unexpected occurrence.

    Left side of Layouts pop-up has "Saved Layouts" section:

    Also Thankful can start with a QuickStart Layout, which can be customized followed by saving for future QuickStart use.

    Yes, Logos is pedantically saving blank layouts as well as normal layouts to reflect the state when you exit Logos. But it begins to delete Application Closed layouts when their number exceeds 10. As KS4J states, you can see your Saved layouts on the left side of the Layouts menu, and it will load the latest version of each named layout. You can also elect to load a named layout when Logos starts, so it will only load what you have saved.

    Hi Karl 

    Another way to get started faster is save the layout that you access to on the bar at the top. Then you can change the layout quickly without searching.

    What is your concern over the saved layouts?

    Karl,

    Try Naming your layout. Logos doesn't save named layouts unless you save it manually. From then on, you can appreciate the auto-backup at close that makes available the last layout you WANTED but forgot to save.

    I agree that this auto-save layouts at exit MUST become a configured option. I get deep stack of auto-saved layouts and the layouts I save are at the bottom. I dislike this 'feature' immensely.

    The right side of layouts is history - one should rarely need to look at it. The left side is the list of layouts for you to open, update and close. History is captured so that the user may recover "lost input" - something that is generally demanded by the users. Switch to using the left side as intended in the user-interface, and most of your frustration should melt away.

    Buried in a 2017 Thread, Mark, your response would have more immediate effect in the English Feedback forum (restating the request).
