winmerge How to save tabs?

Hi

Is there a way to save open tabs? I'm using WinMerge to compare a lot of folders, and it's difficult to open them every time.

Maybe they could be saved in a project? It seems like only the most recent compare is saved in a project, although the project XML seems to indicate that it can hold multiple <paths>

thanks

Supported multiple <paths> in the project file by commit https://bitbucket.org/winmerge/winmerge/commits/a0e7487363d7016348d929da0f1d5064f8ed91a1 There is no GUI support yet.

Awesome, thanks! I can confirm this works (by manually editing the project file).

The bitbucket archive is gone, but I can also confirm it works.

As noted, you simply have multiple <paths> XML entries.

You can save one tab as a project and simply duplicate/edit the <paths> section, or if you have some parameter changes between tabs, save each tab as a project and copy/paste the <paths> section.
