Hi dev group,
Sometime ago, I'd filed a feature request for supporting named
sessions in LyX:
http://bugzilla.lyx.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5551
I'd like to enquire if someone is already working on that or if I could
give this a shot. There seems to be a Session class already for
recording the state of files opened in the last session. This seems to
saved in the 'session' file in .lyx/ (possibly some other place in windows).
I'd like to propose:
1. the creation of a sessions/ sub dir of the lyx app data folder where
each file stores info about a named session like the current 'session' file.
2. The File menu shows items like "Open session..." and "Recent sessions >".
3. A "&Session" menu that shows items like "Open session...", "Rename
session...", "Manage sessions..." etc.
4. The extensions ".lys" for a lyx session file
5. command line arg support either with or without a switch (no prefs)
where the .lys file is treated as a session and the relevant group of
files is opened.
I see the developers talk about session management - I don't have a
good idea of whether it addresses the same issue.
Thanks,
Manoj Rajagopalan
