Open & save groups of documents

Post by jlvm41 »

I'd like to know how to:

1) Open several groups of files into 2 or more separate windows (e.g. 5 files related to question "A" in a different window from 8 files related to question "B").

2) Save a group of documents (eg. files related to question A or B) in order to open it quickly (like a personalized "restore session", applicable to diferent groups of documents)


Thank you so much, I guess you can understand my question (I apologize for my english...)

In Preferences, General, check "Allow multiple instances" and "Restore last session when application starts."

The "last session" remembered when you use multiple instances, will be the session in the last instance closed.

On restarting, first launch PDF-XChange from its shortcut, then open other files from Windows Explorer to start a new session. Then drag files into whichever instance you want to organise them.

You are welcome jlvm41,

and jhreg, it is not sure whether we will allow multiple sessions as this will probably cause more headaches than good with files being moved/deleted all the time, those sessions would be quite unreliable to use.

Regards,
Stefan
