Saving a user defined layout / switching between user defined layouts

[algotron]

I start with a layout, and move the original windows around, hiding some windows. I want to save that user-changed layout as a new layout that I can switch between. I actually want to be able to save multiple user created layouts and switch between them. How do I create a new layout from the existing layout as it appears to the user on the screen?

My efforts:

After I have interactively split the windows by dragging them into new positions, I have tried to save the new layout from
HelloImGui::GetRunnerParams()->dockingParams
into
HelloImGui::GetRunnerParams()->alternativeDockingLayouts

but the docking splits are not saved. When new splits are created interactively, those splits do not appear in the
HelloImGui::GetRunnerParams()->dockingParams.dockingSplits

....but this does not work. The user modified layout is not saved.

I'm sorry there is no easy way to do that since ImGui simply does not want to transmit this information. You will have to do it by code.

Another possibility:
Provide several identical layouts "CustomLayout1, CustomLayout2, etc" (identical as far as the code is concerned) that the user can rearrange.separately . The user modifications will be saved for each of them.

Thank-you Pascal, It would be great if someday it could happen. Yours truly, Peter Walker
