Reference Desktops window

Menus

Add New Desktop	Creates a new desk.
Save Modified Desktops	Saves any desks you have edited since the last save.
Apply Changes	Applies any changes you've made to the settings in the window to the actual desks.
Discard Changes	Discards any changes you've made to the settings in the window.

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.

Pop-up menu button	This menu lets you save, load, revert, duplicate, hide, or delete the desk it appears next to.
Name	Name of the desk as it appears in the Desktops menu.
No Save flag	When this flag is on, changes to the desk cannot be saved.
Hide flag	When this flag is on, the desk does not appear in the search path.
Info button	Click this button to show any noteworthy information about the desk and its contents.
Location	Controls which directory the desk is stored in. Desktops under `$HFS` load for all users of this copy of Houdini. Desktops under `$HOME` load only for you. Desktops under `$HIP` load only for the current scene.
