-: [Maximilian Schwarzmüller] Now there are more options
we can explore in Power User mode,
but before we go down that route, I'll switch back
to Regular User and I already created a bunch of chats here.
Now, over time, of course,
those chats might clutter up this sidebar
and you might not be interested
in keeping all of them around.
That's why you have these three dots here
to open more options for every chat.
And there you can easily delete a chat, for example.
You can also review them in Finder or Windows Explorer.
To open the place on your file system
where these chat histories are stored,
and you can see every chat history is just a JSON file.
If you were to open this JSON file with a text editor,
you would see the kind of information LM Studio stores
about this chat.
Here for this empty chat, it's essentially nothing.
But for that first chat I started, you would see that
besides the timestamp and the title that was inferred,
you would also see the different messages
that have been stored in that chat
or that make up that chat.
You see that the user message was this one
and that the AI generated assistant message
by this model then was this one here.
You also see the amount of tokens
that were generated and handled here
and a couple of other pieces of information.
Though much of this information can also be found here
inside of LM Studio, at least when switching
to Power User mode,
then you, for example, also see how many tokens were used
for a certain response, how long it took for the first token
to be generated, and how many tokens on average
were generated per second.
And you see that on a per message basis.
You also got more options down here in Power User mode,
but again, I'll get back to those in a second.
First, I want to get back to what you can do here
regarding your chats, because you cannot just view them.
You can also delete them, as I mentioned,
and you can also organize them into folders.
So, for example, I could create a Basics folder
and then drag these chats into that Basics folder,
and that's another way of organizing them
and that is a feature that can be quite handy
if you've got a lot of chats,
which you don't wanna delete,
but which you also don't wanna search forever
when you're looking for a chat.
Of course, by the way, you can also hide this sidebar
if you wanna have a full screen chat experience,
and you can always bring it back by clicking this icon.
