Bug #13839	Save Tabs for later use.

Status:	Won't fix	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Query Browser	Severity:	S4 (Feature request)
Version:	1.1.15	OS:	Windows (WinXP)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
I use a split tab query on a daily bases.
Every time I have to use it, I have to open a tab, pull from favorates for the top part. Split and pull the favorate for the second part.

There is a feature to rename a Tab, could we also save that tab off?

How to repeat:
Rename a Tab to your liking.
Click File > Save 
Give it a file name.

Close the program and reopen it.
Click File > Open Query
Find the file you just saved and open it.

Note that it will only save the first query, AND it won't even recall the tab's name.

Suggested fix:
Allow us to save Tabs (name and split section)

To add to this feature request, it would be nice to save all active tabs, with the names and the queries (or scripts), in one workspace which can then be retrieved.

Thank you for the reasonable feature request.

Without this feature, it is very discouraging to use tabs. If a computer restart is needed, it is dreadful. All the time spent renaming tabs to ease navigation is lost, and bookmarks do not help here, since they don't cause the tab to be renamed when loaded. I am using version 1.2.17 and this still isn't addressed :(

May I suggest getting inspired from the way firefox handles bookmarks, an invaluable feature of the browser. I am not sure if the Query Browser GUI is made with xaml and js, but if so maybe some of the code could even be ported. Thanks lots!
