This was great if you had specific documents or files that you worked with on a regular basis e.g. a spreadsheet, database, text files, word processor documents etc. Rather than finding and opening each file or application individually, you just opened the workspace folder and everything in it opened up to where you left of last time you used them.
If you leave documents in KDE applications opened, they will be opened next time you start computer.
If it is not that way on your computer, then it can be set in: Personal Settings > KDE Components > Session Manager. Settings is "Restore previous session".
For KDE4 it is in: Personal Settings > Advanced Tab > Session Manager.
The only exemption is Konsole. It will open tabs, but not documents in appropriate applications.

Yes, but that is only part of the functionality that workspace folders provided. Lets say, for instance, that I have 3 specific tasks to do, each of which has a specific and unique set of applications and documents associated with it. I could create a workspace folder for each task. When I open the folder, the documents and applications associated with that folder open up in the correct state. When I close the folder, the applications and documents close down again, ready for next time I open the folder. I could then move onto the next task in the next workspace folder etc. Now, I could so this by having multiple different logons for different tasks and remembering each session, but that would mean logging on and off several times. The workspace folders were a much more elegant way of achieving the same thing. Anyway, no point in reminiscing. Maybe I'll raise an enhancement suggestion when I get a moment or three to put it into developer-friendly terms ;-). -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@iinet.net.au ===================================================
