[Workspaces] Saving and loading File Explorer with tabs #34664

Open teijiIshida opened 1 week ago

teijiIshida commented 1 week ago

Description of the new feature / enhancement

All tabs in the File Explorer should be saved and opened when launching the workspace.

Scenario when this would be used?

Currently, Workspace is able to open multiple File Explorer instances. However, adding a feature to allow saving/loading File Explorer with (the user saved) tabs would be nice for organization or small screen setups.

Using this issue to track related File Explorer multiple tabs requests.

Right now, this is a limitation of the File Explorer app's allowed CLI arguments - only the first path passed is respected.

There are solutions that involve using scripting / batch files for opening multiple FE tabs in one instance, and that is potentially a workaround we could look into.
