[Feature Request] Manually Save open tabs and Restore saved tabs
This is a feature request.
Background:
- I use the option "Load previous tabs" OnStart and "Replace Explorer for all folders (Vista or later)".
- I have some open tabs on Explorer++
- Then I close the Explorer++ (my open tabs are saved automatically by Explorer++)
- On my desktop I have some shortcuts to folders, that I frequently use. Let's say: shortcut of folder "Transfer"
- I double-click that shortcut, the Explorer++ opens that folder correctly on a tab "Transfer" and no other previous tabs are shown.
- I close the Explorer++.
- now I lost all my open tabs (in step 2) when I open the Explorer++, since it shows only the tab of "Transfer", which is correct by design!
My feature request: Feature 1: Manually Save open tabs User can save their open tabs as one group anytime in a xml (or registry) and can give it a name e.g. "Work tabs", "Entertainment tabs", etc. Example: Two open tabs "Source code" and "sheets" are saved as "Work tabs"
So if the case (see Step 4 to 6) happens, Feature 2: Manually Restore saved tabs: user can restore their saved tabs easily, that was saved by feature 1, by choosing the name. Example: User clicks "manual restore saved tabs" and chooses "Work tabs", then the tabs "Source code" and "sheets" are restored on Explorer++. If there is already other opened tab (e.g. "transfer" tab) shown on explorer++, the restored tabs are simply added to it, that there are totally 3 tabs shown on Explorer++ now: "transfer", "Source Code" and "sheets".
OS: Windows 10
Version of Explorer++:
Should this be labeled "feature" instead of "bug"? I would love this feature too. Or even better, restore tabs from previous session automatically and add the newly opened folder as a new tab.

Now that is the perfect feature right there.
