How to load emacs saved desktop configuration?

Question

I followed some answers here, customizing a workspace, where I had several windows sized how I wanted them. I saved this session, as per instructions, here. While I see that I now have a .emacs.desktop file in that directory, I can't seem to understand how to load my desktop configuration. When I emacs .emacs.desktop or C-x c-f .emacs.desktop, that only edits the file itself, rather than loading the configuration. How can I start with a restored configuration?

Answer 1

I have a similar setup, and M-x desktop-change-dir works for me. You will then be prompted to enter the path to your .emacs.desktop file, or you can create a new one. After that, your desktop/workspace should be loaded.

Also, each desktop configuration will have its own .emacs.desktop file.
