That's good there's a Session management in PDF-Xchange but I would love some little improvements:
- Save Current Session select by default the actual opened session
- Automatically save the session each time we add a new tab (or minimum when we close the window)
I love how Microsoft Edges or Apple Safari manage sessions (called "Workspaces" in Edges or "Tab groups" in Safari). You don't have to worry about saving your sessions, it's automatic and you can switch between sessions in 2 clicks. It would be a very good inspiration for PDF-XChange.

Re: Feature: Automatic saving sessions
Hello, AdriZ
We do offer a feature along these lines already, which might serve your needs: If you enable these options, then when you close the software, the currently opened files are saved, and the next time you open the software it will reload that last session.
We do not offer this as a part of the manually controlled "session" system because it could lead to unwanted changes due to a mistake or just forgetting it was enabled. As such, if you have more than one "session" which you need to refer back to, you will want to manually save the session groups, to load each specific one. If you only have one "session" at a time, as most browsers work, than this system is effectively identical to what you are asking for.
Kind regards,

Re: Feature: Automatic saving sessions
Thank you Daniel.
I used that feature. But I didn't realised I can save all the windows (not only the last one closed) by exiting from menu File > Exit. That's handy.
I still think a MS-Edge-workspace-like feature would be a terrific feature:
- work is tidier
- able to have many sessions/workspace with big documents, without impacting the RAM memory
- switching between tasks is fast
- avoids to be disturbed by other pending tasks
- meaningful window titles
Example of my typical PDF-XChange windows titles (not clear):
My edge windows with many tabs in each:
My workspace management in Edge I recommend to use it to understand the benefits.

Hello, AdriZ
Thank you - it is one we have looked into, but I am sorry to say for the time being the requested items are not planned for an implementation on our end.
