Tabs and session saving

Post by loikol »

Hi,

I would like to request a more advanced tabs and session saving system.

I currently use multiple instances with different tabs. An example in my case would be having one instance with five tabs for reference pictures (scenery pics), another instance with multiple tabs of other type of reference pictures (animals), and another instance with four tabs of multiple versions of the image I'm working on. A thing to note is that I use multiple monitors all with different instances of xnview.

Here are a couple of things I would like to see possible.
  • - bookmarking tabs and saving that set of tabs
    -open a whole folder or multiple selected images into tabs
    -drag and drop tabs from one instance to another
    -be able to tile tabs by dragging them to the edges, so I can compare images side by side.
    -navigate tabs with my arrow keys on my keyboard like I can using ctr+tab or make it customizable.
    -and the most important one, make xnview able to save the whole session in case of a crash or just when closing the program, much like firefox/chrome can. At the moment it will only save the session of the last instance closed.
I know that's a lot to ask but I hope it would be considered, specially the last one.
thanks for your time and for making such a nice program.

I know similar requests have been made before, but this is a really concise explanation of session management. I enjoy the restoration of tabs capability, but if I open one file for viewing from the shell, I've lost my previous session. +1
