Please maintain the tab order of CVI workspace files

[Wolfgang]

As discussed here and here, CVI does not re-open workspace files in the order they were when CVI was closed; I am referring to confined workspace, not freely floating windows.

As a result, starting CVI one first has to locate all the files, where did the include file go...? If you happen to have some more tabs this is a waste of time.

Also, as Roberto mentioned, you can not easily use the short cut keys Ctrl-1 etc. because of the changing assignment.

So, in short, I am asking to improve this behavior and maintain the tab order of CVI workspace files, that is, re-arrange/re-open the tabs in the order they were when CVI was closed.

Thanks!

Thank you Wolfgang.

I was just about to add this suggestion myself.

I would also like to have the possibility to have several rows of tabs, not only one.

The situation is even more complex...

For example, if one has an UIR file loaded (and its include file as well), after editing (and saving) the UI file its include file will become the right most tab , so tab order is even changing during a CVI session.

So one more reason to work on this issue...

This seems to have been fixed in CVI2013 SP2

...but be aware that the first time you edit and save your UI file its include file may jump and become the right most tab...

...maybe one day the status of this suggestion will be updated from New  to Completed
