Description dmytro 2012-07-03 09:54:09 UTC

I work with code in few areas (left and right) some code is opened in left side and some in right. But when I close project from projects tree and reopen it all tabs (code files) in common one window, but not separated side by side. Is it possible to store editor state on project close?

reassigning to project module

afaik for editor views, the location is generally not persisted once closed. Eg. if you manually close the file's editor, opening it again will now remember the old location.

I guess the persisting part could be done but I'm not aware of a way to open a file and tell the window system where it should be opened. 

reassigning to window system for evaluation.
