Summary | 0001840: Option to save/restore sessions of multiple modules | ||||
Description | I would like the ability to save sessions consisting of all currently open modules, and to reopen saved sessions. This request is related to/briefly mentioned by 0000863. Possible features:
Potential issues:
| ||||
Additional Information | I usually work on multiple related modules at a time for game soundtracks and it'd be nice to batch-open whichever set I'm currently working on. Sessions would also be very useful for libxmp development, as often I need to reopen several modules between reboots. Specific example: I've been implementing Protracker instrument swaps in libxmp and there are 9 related OpenMPT test MODs that I've been reopening every time I boot my laptop on the go. This takes up almost the entire history in the File menu, so if I open multiple of the reported modules that are affected by this issue, the next time I restart I have to navigate back to the OpenMPT tests with the open dialog/Explorer/Dolphin and Ctrl select them. It'd be nicer to just batch all 9 OpenMPT tests and the 8 or so reported modules into one session. | ||||

It's not quite the same, and session support would indeed be nice to have, but for now the Quick Start dialog has been augmented with the possibility to select multiple files at once from the recent file / template list (as of r22302). So that adds at least the possibility of resuming the previous session with fewer clicks, without having to immediately come up with answers for those pesky edge cases. |
