Hi,

As for the code, I just pushed the branch “session-saving”, which you
can build and use right now. It’s stable enough that I’m using it on my
main machine. But, since this is a very new feature, be prepared to
encounter some stability issues (e.g. layout files that could crash
i3). You have been warned! :)
FYI: I just merged the session-saving branch into the “next” branch, so
it’s on track for a release in i3 v4.8. Please help by testing it and
sending feedback!

(To be very explicit: this means you should switch back to “next” now,
since the “session-saving” branch will not see any updates and will be
deleted soon.)


Hi
Thank you for introducing this feature. It's going to be another great feature of an already great window manager.
Does that mean that the 2 perl modules are likely to become i3 dependencies in the future?

I'm trying to build the 'next' branch without luck. I mean it builds find but I can't seem to find the i3-save-tree command in the installation directory. I've installed the additional perl modules, cloned the git repo, switched to the next branch, double checked that the i3-save tree exists in the directory (see the pastebin link), make, make install DESTDIR=install_dir but the i3-save-tree script is nowhere to be seen in the install directory (install_dir). Would I be incorrect thinking that it should be with other scripts in usr/bin/? Please advise.
