Hello,
I want to save my favorit Window Layout for all scenes,
wich I am working on.
My options are set to ->View ->Window Layout ->4 Viewports(Quad View)
This should provide 4 Viewports of the same size and will look like this:

 Top left Viewport        Top right Viewport
 Bottom left Viewport     Bottom right Viewport

Now I want this layout for all scenes I will open
and the Viewports should show exactly these scene views:

 Top left Viewport: FRONT        Top right Viewport: SIDE
 Bottom left Viewport: TOP       Bottom right Viewport: camera01

Does someone have an idea about that?

Hi Oliver,

It is easily done. Open MorayStart.mdl It can be found in
...\Moray For Windows\MDL

Right click the viewport windows and select the views then save. Every 
new file should open with this layout.

I'm glad to see that you are using the layout my techy teacher taught. :-)

Hi Stephen,

Thank you alot for the answer.
I did what you told me.
(Saving MorayStart.mdl with my favorite layout)

But I found out some funny thing about my Moray-Installation

Starting Moray with modified MorayStart.mdl,
give me this layout:

Top left Viewport: empty        Top right Viewport: TOP
Bottom left Viewport: FRONT     Bottom right Viewport: SIDE

Now I can use the mouse to drag the Moray-Window down to the
bottom of my desktop so only the title menu is visible.
When I drag it back to the middle of my desktop
it finally shows me my desired favorite layout.
Sometimes I have to repeat this procedure several times.
Funny, maybe a bug?

But anyway, thank you again for your tip

Regards to you and your techy teacher,
Oliver

I seem to remember that there is a drop down menu somewhere in Moray 
where you can choose the layout option that you want. Probably in 
View/WindowLayout/.

The option that Thomas mentioned can be found here: View > Window layout 
(Shift + W). It does not seem to be remembered when you restart Moray, 
though.

Make sure that you are using the correct MorayStart.mdl. To make sure 
that you are using the right one. View > Configuration (Alt + o), Moray 
tab. The paths are in the bottom section. You need to open the file via 
File > Open Scene (F3) and not select it on the recently opened files 
section. Try making a change to it then save and reopen. Were the 
changes saved?

I am using Win 7 and had to change the compatibility settings to Run in 
compatibility mode for Win XP (SP3) and Disable Visual themes. Every 
time I run Moray, which is not often now, UAC asks if I want to allow it.
