WeBuilder 2011, v11.1.0.128
Windows XP SP3
BACKGROUND
When working on a section of code, I have several files open that relate to that code. Later, I may be working on another section of code with a totally different set of files. These are both related to the same Project, however.
REQUEST
Ultimately, a nice feature would be to save (and name) each set of files independently. That way we could close one set, and open another one at different times, at the click of a button.
CURRENT BEHAVIOR
In 2011, I know it is possible to Restore Previously Opened Files from when you last exited. ( See: My 14 Ultimate Feature Requests )
These must be stored somewhere...
QUESTION
Can someone tell me to what file on my hard drive is this information being saved? Or, is it in the registry?
FOUND IT
It's in the Registry. In XP SP3 ...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Karlis Blumentals\WeBuilder\7.0\Open Documents
* * * * * * * * * * * * * . . . WARNING . . . * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Export that KEY to a .reg file.
When you want to reload that File Set, simply double click the .reg file.
NOTE: If one set has more files in it than another, you will have to modify the .reg file to remove the extra entries.
