Project Saving

Doj · Post by **Doj** » Mon Jul 21, 2008 10:52 pm

I tend to have at least two main projects on the go at once and sometimes more.
I just started another main one making 3 at the moment.
The problem I have is that to switch between the open project(which has includes opened in a specific order) and the next one I have to close all the current files and reopen the next ones in order.

Is there a simple method for just saving a project that can hold the details of many open files and not just one?

I can only think of doing a VB prog that copies registry entries into a file and then loads them into the registry before running the IDE for each project.

Anyone else got an idea?

A plugin could do this well - you could have the option to add all open tabs to a project (storing in a text file), then the plugin could close all tabs and re-load all required tabs. These operations are quite easy with the plugin interface.

I could probably knock this plugin up for you if that helps?

Hello Steven,
What a kind offer, thankyou.
As I have not looked into the plugin side of things I feel I must find out what that is all about and have a go my self.

Rather than do my work for me can you advise the steps and software required?
At least if I muck up I can ask for pointers along the way.

Answering my own question.
The help file has a link but it comes up "web page cannot be found".
Been on the WiKi and found the API, pleased to see its in my favourite VB Express.

Any simple pointers to spur me on Steven!
