What it does#

The answer to setting up a section, a set of hidden items or a colour scheme and then needing to look at something else. Pick a kind of state and it is written under %APPDATA%\pyNavis\viewstate\ keyed to the document, so it is still there in another session.

  2. Change whatever you need to.
