Restore User's Umple Online Session

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What improvement do you want to Umple? 
When the user accidentally closes umple online and goes back to umple online, 
the user can restore his/her session.

How big, if any, do you expect the benefits of this to be to the software
engineering community?
It will be helpful such that the user does not have to retype everything again.

What parts of the system (that you are aware of) would need to change?
The umple.php and javascript files.

I implemented a prototype version of this by storing the filename in the cookie 
with expiration. The user would see a link that would allow the user to restore 
its previous session.

The cookie should store the name of the directory containing model.ump and also 
the state of the diagramType variable, and other option variables such as which 
panes are shown. It would be important to ensure that if an UmpeOnline session 
is started with arguments specifying these variables that the arguments take 
precedence over what is in the Cookie. The same goes if a URL argument is 
asking to load a specify file or example.
