Saving a layout preserves your setting for the Biblical Terms list used in Biblical terms renderings

Question

Not exactly a question, more of a "For your information."

I'm not sure if it is supposed to work this way, but here is what I discovered.

When you open Biblical Terms renderings, you see the terms  and  renderings from the default terms list for that project. This is set in project properties, in the association tab.

If you open a different terms list (in the Biblical  terms  renderings window menu), then save your layout, restoring your layout will open Biblical terms renderings, and it will be using the non-default terms list you selected when you saved the layout.

This may be useful, it may also be unexpected. My wife was suprised to discover today that her Biblical terms renderings was open to Major Biblical terms, not the project terms list which is the default. But someone might appreciate that saving the layout saves the currently active  terms list.

Thanks for the reminder Steve. It is worth noting that this applies to any window that has a filter (Notes, Wordlist, Biblical Terms, Parallel Passages, Biblical Terms Renderings, etc). If you set a filter on a window and then save the layout with that window open (even if it is hidden) - when the layout is restored, all of the filters will still be applied.

The only thing that saving the layout doesn't save (as far as I know) is the Scripture reference when the layout is saved.
