Re: Heads up: The SessionManager class will go away

[Jacob Peck]

I would argue that Edward’s solution of ‘just list the files you want to open in a script’ to totally not capture the essence of the session.  The whole point of sessions to me is to keep the flow of what I was doing last.  It’s more than a set of static leo files.  It’s the set of leo files I was working on *last* that’s important, not whatever ones I hardcode into a script.  I use Leo for dozens of reasons, which fluctuate all the time.  I’m going to seriously lose a lot of joy if I have to constantly hunt down which files I was working on last.  Yes, the recent files list helps, but it’s still a lot of unnecessary end-user friction to have to manually open them all up on each start up. Just my $0.02.

The instant I create a new document, there should be a state file saved on the disk, that keeps the state of the open draft and relates it to an open session. If my power fails two seconds later I expect to be able to load Leo up and get the exact point where I left off. I haven't used Leo seriously for the last 5 years because of this lack of functionality. Mike On Thu, Jun 29, 2023, 16:06 Edward K.

But the SessionManager class still exists. SM.load_session is the culprit behind #3404. It would be straightforward to fix this method, but I shall retire the entire class instead. The SessionManager supports six session-* commands. The commands allow you to specify a set of files to open at startup. But listing the desired files (in a shell script or .cmd file) is simple and good. Summary The session-* commands are absurd solutions to a non-existent problem. This class significantly complicates Leo's startup logic. The entire SessionManager class must go. Félix take note :-) As a side effect, Leo will no longer write ~/.leo/leo.session.  Your comments are welcome. Good luck arguing for this class :-) Edward -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
