| Session | |
A BEAM session comprises all currently opened products and all opened
image views. Since BEAM 4.6, sessions
can be stored and restored to and from a session file. A session file has the
standard file extension .beam. If you have selected to create
a file association with VISAT session files during installation, you can double-click
session files in your file system which will invoke VISAT and restore the session.
In VISAT, all session related commands are available from the file menu. Here you can save, open and close a session.
If you store the your opened products next to the session file, the file pathes to the products are stored as relative pathes. This means that you can take the parent folder of the session file and move it somewhere else in your file system without breaking the file references to the products. This is possible because the parent folder is self-contained with respect to the stored BEAM session.
