Unique Feature: Simple Session Manager

(1/1)

tom--:
Good evening
thank you very much for your great Software!

I have a probably small but powerful and unique feature request: a simple session manager.

Let me explain an usual use case:

* We are working on a job and Multi Commander has different Tabs open for this job
* Then, something happens, we must work on another job
* Some time later, Multi Commander has many open tabs mixed from different jobs
The new solution:

* User selects the new Command "New Session", assigns a short name to the Session and Multi Commander is doing this:

* saves the actual Tabs into a file (this is the old session)
* opens the "default session tabs", so that we get the tabs initialized as we need them and so we can start working for the new job
* if the User saves the active Session, then Multi Commander just saves the Tabs into a file named as defined in the short name above
* If the User would like to switch the session (a dropdown listbox would be nice),
Multi Commander just saves the actual Tabs and loads the Tabs from the other session
* If the User would like to delete a session, just the File with the Tabs will be deleted
I think this should be a simple but powerful feature :-)

Kind regards,
Tom

Jungle:
I think it may be implemented via MultiScript.

Mathias (Author):
Something like that is planned..

As Jungle say. you can create script commands for it.
The based function for this exists.. Saving Current Layout and Loading a saved one.

See custom commands ( http://multicommander.com/docs/customcommands_list )
MC.LoadTabs / MC.SaveTabs

A UI part for this is planned.
