*)
If a layout has been loaded with invisible windows (i.e. the respective applications have not been launched yet),
and is then saved as a new layout, the then invisible windows will be saved with window state MINIMIZED re-
gardless of the assigned window state. To assign the desired window state, use the LayoutEditor, please!
Invisible windows of a layout will always be saved with window state minimized!
If a layout is saved as a new layout, the advanced options Topmost, Sizable, Visible, Show title bar, will be ex-
plicitly set or cleared, even if these options in the original layout are grayed. These options will be set as the
Desktop server “sees” them.
Any locked database has to be unlocked by the Desktop Server before changes can be saved. Unlock a database
with Save and share Database in the Edit menu of the Layout Editor
