6.2 Frame Dumping

The configuration of frames and groups can be saved and restored using the following commands.

Command: dump-desktop-to-file file

Dumps the frames of all groups of all screens to the named file. If FILE is an absolute path, then the dump will be read written there. Otherwise, defaults to writing to "FILE.dump" in the XDG_DATA_HOME location.

Command: dump-group-to-file file

Dumps the frames of the current group of the current screen to the named file. If FILE is an absolute path, then the dump will be read written there. Otherwise, defaults to writing to "FILE.dump" in the XDG_DATA_HOME location.

Command: dump-screen-to-file file

Dumps the frames of all groups of the current screen to the named file. If FILE is an absolute path, then the dump will be read written there. Otherwise, defaults to writing to "FILE.dump" in the XDG_DATA_HOME location.

Command: restore-from-file file

Restores screen, groups, or frames from named file, depending on file’s contents. If FILE is an absolute path, then the dump will be read from there. Otherwise, defaults to reading from "FILE.dump" in the XDG_DATA_HOME location.

Command: place-existing-windows

Re-arrange existing windows according to placement rules.

Command: place-current-window

Re-arrange current window according to placement rules.

The configuration files are stored in the $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/stumpwm. The file name specified is saved as a .dump file type. For example, : dump-desktop-to-file example may save a file in ~/.local/share/stumpwm/example.dump. restore-from-file also adds the .dump extension by default.
