hello, It would be great to have "sessions" in Libreoffice, especially in Writer... that is, to be able to save the working session... and reopen it next time.. the same couple of files.. to save the list of the open files... and save this list as "a session" under a name... and reopen it any time in the future... I guess I don't need to advertise this functionality, cause developers ALL uses sessions like this :) wouldn't it be a pain if one hat to find which files to reopen, and reopen them individually? every time you restarted your computer? :) :) Well, Writer users probably feel the same about it, too :) In any case, it would be huge enhancement!! :) Peter
> I meant: "developers ALL use" "if one had to" "a huge enhancement" (sorry)
there is something like file => recent documents; and when closing a document there is a visual reference for the documents you working on
Sounds like a project. Wouldn't restrict it to Writer but open spreadsheets, drawings, and presentations too. To save the current state and reload it on restart we could introduce an option "[ ] Restore last session" that remembers the state of open documents on exit and restores it with the next session. If the user starts LibreOffice by "executing" a document it adds to the stack.
I would happily have a session handler as well (save currents files as session, open session list of names, ...), but just to have an option at start to restore the previous one would be already a plus. Right now, one could save all files, and knowingly terminate LibreOffice, they will be offered to be restored, but it is more a hack than a method. Bests, Vincent Boudry.
Allowing to select multiple files on the StartCenter would also be an option.

Bug 146769 is about restoring all the documents from the last session. But I understand you ask for more control, i.e. saving several "sets" of documents. Related request is bug 37134, which asks for a multi-document interface. In such an interface, it would make even more sense to have a "collection" of documents saved as one single session.

I can imagine 2 different versions of sessions: 1. that you can create sessions where each one is assigned to a specific need. E.g. for a specific meeting. Then, for example, you would have a list open in Calc and perhaps several documents in Writer and a drawing in Draw or a database in Base. These would be opened together each time and assigned to different screens. This means that you can get started as soon as you start the session - without having to search for and assign everything first. The advantage: You can create different sessions for different occasions and start them immediately if required. So you could have one for work and another for the sports club and yet another for a hobby project. However, there should also be a function with which you can save the session with one or two clicks and close it immediately to then open another session. 2. the last session is automatically restored, with all associated documents and, in the case of multiple screens, also assigned to them. So that you can immediately start again with the last session.
