Description David Simonek 2001-11-09 12:01:31 UTC 
Currently, it's not possible to specify persistent policy for individual output
tabs. For example, search results and compiler tabs are good candidates to be
serialized even in closed state, so that they are opened where they were closed.

Some method setPersistenceType(type) is needed.
Comment 1 David Simonek 2001-11-09 12:03:55 UTC 
Also, new persistence type items in popup menu will allow user to
modify persistence policy of individual output tabs.

reassigne to Tim, new owner of terminal emulator
Comment 6 _ tboudreau 2002-12-11 00:42:13 UTC 
IMO, the output window is specifically for transient data;  if a 
module wants data persisted across sessions, it should supply an
appropriate component to do that.  I'm afraid the result of this
enhancement would be a build up of stale output windows across
sessions - let's not go there.  

Dafe, when you said "go ahead and close some things as wontfix",
you probably didn't mean your issues ;-)  But I'm closing this
as wontfix. :-(
Comment 7 Marian Mirilovic 2003-07-25 18:30:46 UTC 
closing.
Comment 8 Quality Engineering 2008-12-23 08:14:13 UTC
