Feature Request: Load a specific directory tree in the document tree. #52

Open mfrdlik opened 1 year ago

mfrdlik commented 1 year ago

Hi, first of all -- what an absolutely lovely editor! After trying out dozens of windows console editors including micro and fte, I've finally fell in love with Turbo. I'd like to use it as a drop-in replacement of Notepad++, and it would be great if there was an option for the editor to remember the document tree from the previous session (or an option to populate it with a specific directory), so I can continue working right away every morning, with all relevant files ready to switch to.

Thanks, and looking forward to all upcoming features!

Hi @mfrdlik! Thanks for the compliments.

The ability to open all the files in a directory was already suggested in #11, although personally I think it is more useful to remember the open files from last time, like you suggest.

However, before any of the two features can be implemented, Turbo first needs to have persistent settings. I hope to do this some day but that might not happen soon.

Cheers!

Hi @mfrdlik

Turbo doesnt currently support persistent settings.

However you can switch to use far2l file manager that supports persistent settings and opening turbo from its command line.

So basically you can use far2l to make turbo open files from last time.

Would that be a workaround for your workflow?
