Re: Shutdown Options

hi,

Storing the state of an application is really not easy thing  to do.

If you only want to set startup applications and/or restore running applications after re-login,
take a look at -gnome-session-properties. There are some extensions, that add a direct link to
the user menu.

- https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/620/startup-applications/
- https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/341/settingscenter/

If you want to restore your session after reboot you should consider using hibernate/suspend.

I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome. I appreciate the expedient response, as well.

The idea I have is to add a simple season manager to the shell so that users can manage how the open apps and documents are handled after a system restart.

The premise can be expanded to allow apps an opportunity to save their current state to disk so that they can be restored to those states when the system comes back up.

Shell extensions are not HTML5/_javascript_. while they are written in
(a superset of) JS and may use (a subset of) CSS for styling, they are
not using HTML for their scene graph.

usually asking specific questions helps getting better answers, though.
