In this article, I introduced you to DevTool our software development tool platform. The interface of tools built with on this platform do not persist after the program they monitor is terminated. DevTool is like a shell for program's input interface. The advantage is, you don't have to maintain the tools. As long as your program code is in working order, the tools user interface will be recreate when they connect with the programs. You may want to save the final states of the tool's user interface and use them as initial condition for your program. Well, the tools can export the program's states to an ini file format. For greater flexibility, DevTool has a plug-in interface so developers can choose to export to a custom file format. Exporting the programs states is one way of saving a configuration that give you the result you expect. Then you can choose to make this configuration permanent in your program.
