Saved Session - adding/removing files

Post by mjm.0 »

I am looking to add/remove certain files .... from an existing saved session. In addition, I would like to know if a session can be established that would open all pdfs from a predetermined path?

TIA - marc

Hi, mjm.0

To add or remove files to a session, currently you must open that session, then open or close the files you wish to change, and then save the session once again, overwriting the original, there is not way to make changes to a session whilst it is closed.

As for your second inquiry, No, it is not possible to have a session open all files from a specific path (IE: folder location), sessions contain the paths to a specific set of PDF documents, and only those documents. You will need to manually open any other files.
The simplest way to do this is to open the folder in question, and simply select all PDF files at once, (Shift+Click will allow you to select multiple files in the windows files explorer) then press Enter to open them simultaneously.

Hi.
After I've opened my session I see only 3 files in tabs.

File - Sessions - Manage sessions shows for that session:
Documents: 10

7 files was renamed or moved to another logical disk or hdd.
How can I find out the names of these 7 files?

Hello, monsoon

You can find the names and original Paths of each file that should be in a session by hovering your mouse over the session name in the "File > open > sessions" menu, like so:

That is currently the only way to retrieve session file names within the Editor.
