Managing multiple sessions

 

Bug Validator can manage multiple sessions at once.

 

As well as the actively running session, open sessions may include those run since Bug Validator started, or reloaded sessions that had been saved earlier.

 

menu Managers menu instructionStep Session Manager... instructionStep shows the Session Chooser dialog below, highlighting the current session

 

 sessionManager

 

Each time a session is started or loaded it is added to this list, using the name of the executable program and the date and time the session started.

 

 

Managing the sessions

 

Select instructionStep makes the selected entry the current session, i.e. the one for which data will be displayed

 

note Some tab views may update immediately, others may need a manual refresh

 

Set Alias... instructionStep opens the Edit Session Alias dialog so you can give the session a more useful name

 

session-alias
 

Delete instructionStep removes the selected session

 

You can't delete a session that is actively collecting data.

 

Delete All instructionStep removes all the loaded sessions

 

If one of the session is actively collecting data, this will be disabled.

 

Close instructionStep closes the dialog (as opposed to closing any selected sessions!)

 

 

Limiting the number of sessions

 

You can choose to limit the maximum number of sessions open at once. Once the maximum is reached, then each time a new session is added, the oldest session may automatically be removed:

 

Auto purge sessions instructionStep ensures that the number of loaded sessions is limited to the maximum (below)

 

Maximum number of sessions instructionStep sets the maximum number of sessions allowed if auto-purge is on
