Hi fwang, It's usual to have more than one open document in Amaya at a given time. And it's also usual to work for several days on the same set of documents. Firefox has a nice feature for users who do so, namely the "Save session" and "quick restart" extensions. These useful features let a user exit a session and have it reopened upon browser restart, no matter how many windows and tabs were there. IMO Amaya is half way of having something like this because of it's crash recover feature. Firefox apparently saves window information (geometry, position) and tab URIs. The restart feature you filed in the wish list on behalf of John Stumbles might well be the opportunity to consider the session saving and restoring I'm suggesting. A nicety (not in Firefox) would be sort of "named sessions" to enable clustering of documents one works with. This would add an "Open document set" menu item and "session name" input element somewhere in the session saving UC. Firefox seems to save the session data upon crashing, or preventively when changes happen. If it didn't end happily then it offers the user to recover the session as it was when the crash happened. -- Juan Lanus
