Description Anton McConville CLA 2012-03-05 15:26:58 EST
Build Identifier: 

Sometimes when I'm forced to reboot my laptop, or when I access Orion from another computer, I find myself opening up the files that I was working on again. McQ commented about this too, with the idea of keeping a favourite group of files.

Reproducible: Always

I usually rely on my browser's tab management for this. Chrome and Firefox are pretty good about restoring open tabs. 

I've also taken to bookmarking a group of related editor tabs into a folder (Ctrl+Shift+D). For example, I've got a folder called "codemirror stuff", and whenever I need to do some codemirror work, I just middle-click the folder and immediately get all the editor tabs I need.

They're good tips - and I mentioned something similar to McQ. He suggested that he didn't want to rely on the browser for that. He does have a case really - think if you use a different browser on a different computer - and what about sharing?

Personally I'm undecided, and I think that my Chrome isn't set the way it used to be because I'm not seeing it restore, and it used to.

I added the bug as much to document this work flow as anything. In the meantime I'm going to try out your bookmarks.
