Some users may be working on more than one project, each requiring several different TextPipe filters.
Other computer programs, notably a few text editors, have as a feature what might be termed a "session manager".
This enables a session to be loaded from or saved to a program session file.
It should not be too difficult to implement something similar for TextPipe (& the other DataMystic programs).

Re: Suggestion: Add a session manager
Which elements would be retained?
The only ones that spring to mind are:
1. Trial run output
2. Current cursor position in the tree view.

Re: Suggestion: Add a session manager
Those two questions appertain to each individual TextPipe filter file,
so what's the relevance for designing a session manager that groups together several separate TextPipe filter files as a project workspace?

Re: Suggestion: Add a session manager
Two of my favourite text editors have session managers.
- Notepad++ calls it a session manager - see http://notepad-plus-plus.org/
TextPad calls it a workspace - see http://www.textpad.com/
