Starting AQT without Sessions

You may wish to start AQT without using sessions. This might be because you want to start AQT quickly, without the previous session being either restored or deleted.

You cannot do this by clicking Cancel from the Restore AQT Session window, as this will result in the previous session being deleted.

You can do this by clicking More then Start AQT without Session. When this done:

AQT is started without opening a session
the previous session is not deleted. It will remain present and will be restored the next time you start AQT normally.
when you close AQT, your current session will not be saved
Options > Enable Auto Session Save will be ignored
you can still use File > Sessions > Open/Save to open a session or save your current one

Setting up a non-Session desktop icon

If you want to do this on a frequent basis, you can set up a desktop icon to start AQT without sessions.

This is demonstrated in the example below. You need to change the Target to have:

options=sessions=n

as a parameter after AQT executable
