# windowFrameAutosaveName

The name under which the frame rectangle of the window owned by the receiver is stored in the defaults database.

```
var windowFrameAutosaveName: NSWindow.FrameAutosaveName { get set }
```

## Discussion

By default, `name` is an empty string, which means that no information is stored in the defaults database.

## See Also

[`-  setFrameAutosaveName:`](/documentation/AppKit/NSWindow/setFrameAutosaveName(_:))

Sets the name AppKit uses to automatically save the window’s frame rectangle data in the defaults system.
