save state on exit is set using the eclipse settings RESTORE_TABS

After a lot of reading I found that this setting can't be set in the notes.ini.

However it can be set in the plugin_customization.ini file.

This is stored in the deploy folder of the installation package.

I couldn't find a way to make the changes using the installshield tuner but I did find that if I added these lines:

com.ibm.rcp.personality.framework/RESTORE_TABS=false
com.ibm.rcp.personality.framework/DEFAULT_RESTORE_TABS_PREFERENCE=false
com.ibm.rcp.personality.framework/DEFAULT_RESTORE_TABS=false

to the bottom of the plugin_customization file then the client booted up without the tick in the box.

I'm not sure if all three lines are working because the 'restore defaults' button still puts the tick in the box.

As an addendum I think that these lines change for 8.5 or 8.5.1 to this:

com.ibm.rcp.personality.framework.prefs/RESTORE_TABS=false
com.ibm.rcp.personality.framework.prefs/DEFAULT_RESTORE_TABS_PREFERENCE=false
com.ibm.rcp.personality.framework.prefs/DEFAULT_RESTORE_TABS=false

but obviously I haven't tested this out.

Anyway I have achieved my aim, having the tickbox unticked on client startup, so I am happy and I will pass the baton on to anyone who feels they would like to tidy up the issue of the defaults button putting the tick in the box and confirming the 8.5 (.1) settings.

Cheers
Paul
