Ok ladies and gents, I have a layout drawn up and in JMRI. I can pull the panel up use all the turnouts from the panel all this works great. My question after operating on a few different layouts. How do I get the panels to load once I select the profile I want for the panels to come up without having to select the file of the panels. I have the start up instructions set but what am I missing. I’ve seen several iterations once the profile is selected it brings up the panels belonging to that profile without actually having to select the files.
Fr a given JMRI profile: "Edit"->"Preferences"->"Start Up". operate the "Add" button, and select "Load table content and panels...". Select the appropriate ".XML" file. "Save" the preferences.
(BTW: If you will want to open any of the "Tools"->"Tables" windows as part of the JMRI "Start Up" preferences, be sure to add those windows _after_ loading the "XML" file. Why? If you open any of the "Tables" "windows" before loading the ".XML" file, the display of the table will likely re-sort all of the objects _for each and every object_, which can be very slow. instead, if the objects are loaded first, before the Table's window is opened, the process of opening the window only needs to be "sorted" one time.)
