Options
| Show Hidden Files | You have the option of hiding desktops, which cause them to disappear from the desktop menu and from the desktop manager. Turning this option on allows you to see the hidden files. |
| Show All Files | If Houdini’s default desktop files are overridden by files of the same name in the users $HOME/houdini directory, then only the files in use are displayed, and the default ones are not displayed. When this option is enabled, all the files are shown, even if they are not actually in use, because they are overridden. This can be confirmed by clicking on the Info pop-up. |
| Auto Save Changes | When enabled, changes to desktops are automatically saved to the relevant desktop files without having to explicitly save them. |
