Custom workspaces / workspaces by directory

Workspaces

A workspace is a set of options (profile) which can be stored (and later loaded) with a unique name. A workspace would include the following properties:

• A mask which defines which properties are actually stored in the workspace profile. Only stored options wil be restored when loading the workspace .
• The current view
• The file list separator position
• horizontal / vertical file list orientation
• A custom view (filter)
• The sort order

Workspace by directory

The user would assign a workspace to the current directory. This would result in loading the workspace whenever the current directory is entered. Automatic saving of a workspace by directory wouldn't be a good solution. Options would include:

• Also in subdirectory (recursive). Load view also for all subdirectories
• Placeholders can be used in the path name so the path will match for similar directories
• An option which defines if the view is still displayed even if the user changed to another non-matching directory or if the default workspace is loaded.

The list of workspaces by directory would be a hierarchical list to avoid ambivalences.
