Unique Feature: Simple Session Manager
« on: June 08, 2016, 00:00:09 »
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

I think it may be implemented via MultiScript.

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.
