I'm sure there is more discussion > here :) Since it's an early discussion, I have a proposition for something I always wanted to have in the other IDE-s: several sessions per project. For example, currently I have one project for Geany sm, another for regenerating my patches (the ones in sf patch tracker except sm, plus some others), and I usually open another (temporary) project when working on something else. Aside from the session, these projects are, and must be, absolutely identical. So: The project menu contains a "Sessions" item, which displays a dialog to add/remove/switch to a session. Each new project starts with a Default session, which can not be deleted. Whoever prefers a project for each session can simply ignore "Sessions". Possible storage: $project.geany contains an UUID. $confdir/UUID contains a list of names sessions and the interface options, including the current session name. The larger a project, the more useful several sessions will be. I'm not sure about several project-less sessions. It will be somewhat confusing - should I use a project, or only a session? - but OTOH, the line between projects and sessions will be drawn once and for all: a project has it's own set of options, while a session is simply a set of files.

They must be discussed at some later point, we have "save-settings" and "project-save". -- E-gards: Jimmy _______________________________________________ Geany-devel mailing list Geany-devel@uvena.de https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany-devel
