TermSaver

TermSaver is just a simple library built around the Appscript library to automate saving the geometry of Mac OS' Terminal.app windows and provide a way to rebuild them and provide them with initial commands on their creation.

Usage

Arrange your terminal windows however you like. Use the save command to generate a file with the saved window states.

termsaver -s saved_state.yml

or

termsaver --save saved_state.yml

You can then edit this file and enter shell commands in the "command" property of each State. These commands will be executed once the terminal windows are re-instated.

Example:

--- 
- !ruby/object:TermSaver::State 
  background_color: !ruby/object:TermSaver::Colour 
    b: 53971
    g: 65535
    r: 48805
  command: "echo 'Sugarnipples.'"
  number_of_columns: 80
  number_of_rows: 24
  position: !ruby/object:TermSaver::Position 
    x: -614
    y: 17

To load in your saved states, use the load command.

termsaver -l saved_state.yml

or

termsaver --load saved_state.yml

Notes & Limitations

If you do not already have an instance of Terminal.app running, then it seems that an additional Terminal window will be opened. Currently there is nothing to handle this.

Currently, the only properties of windows being stored are: position, background colour, number of rows and number of columns.
