### Session Manager v5.2 ###
#########################
Hi everyone,
Back online (but only for a very short time)…
Just enough to post this update. Hope you enjoy it!
Flux
---------------------------
• HIGHLIGHTS:
* Cheat Sheet
Summary of commands and how-to renamed/added in "Options" menu > "Help: Cheat Sheet…"
+++ Quick load dialog
Sort of a "live filter" for Session Manager: access your sessions even faster by typing part of their name.
⏵Assign a keyboard shortcut, e.g. F12, to
::load "SessionManager", "_QuickLoad"; (See Cheat Sheet for details)
Then press your shortcut and type the first meaningful letter(s) of the session you want to load, e.g. F12 > "w" > will load your session called "my work" ; "vid" will load your "Videos" session, etc.
Or just press F12 > "Enter" to switch back and forth between your last two sessions
It’s really snappy, I use it all the time!
+ Real "popping" menus
No more clicks… ’nuff said!
++ Sessions can now remember if they need to display items: Hidden, System, and Protected (Thanks Don!)
Works with all sessions (regular and layout), you just need to have "Extras" enabled in menu "Options" > "General: Enable Extras..."
Very useful, e.g. to automatically show everything (including hidden, system and protected items) for your sessions "System Maintenance", "Software Installation"… while hiding them all for your leisure sessions.

• CHANGELOG:
Session Manager v5.2 — Updated 2017-03-15
! State of SyncBrowse/Scroll is now (re)activated correctly for matching sessions.
Note: These states (Panes > Sync Browse / Sync Scroll) are only remembered:
› for sessions with layout;
› with layouts enabled (Layout Tools > Use Layouts: ON);
› if Options > General: Enable Extras…SyncBrowseScroll… is checked.
When switching to regular sessions, these states are reset to default (the states saved, if any, with your default layout — Layout Tools > Save/Update Default Layout).
* Slightly changed entry Options > General:Enable Extras… by reordering it and adding "Layout" before SyncBrowseScroll
(Note to translators, too minor a change to update now, we’ll wait for next update).
Session Manager v5.1 — Updated 2017-03-11
+++ Quick load dialog (assigned to shortcut): type the first meaningful letter(s) of a session name to open it, or just "Enter" to switch to previous session (Details in Menu "Options" > "Help: Cheat Sheet...").
++ Sessions can now remember visibility status of Hidden/System/Protected files (check menu "Options" > "General: Enable Extras...")
+ Menus "Layout Tools" and "Options" are now real "popup" menus
+ Added new entry "Save Auto-Named Quick Session..." in menu "Options" (previously only accessible via Shift+Click on SM toolbar icon)
* List of commands for quick control of Session Manager are now regrouped in (and renamed as) "Help: Cheat sheet..." in menu "Options"
* Reordered and renamed some entries of menu "Options"
* Quick Sessions: added year to date prefix (yy-mm-dd * instead of mm-dd *), better readability
* Changed suffix of sessions with script from ® to °
- removed saving of elevated state with Extras (too cumbersome)
! Delete dialog displayed wrong text when only two sessions available
! Enhanced strict syntax checking compliance
Session Manager v4.53 — (internal)
++ Sessions now also remember visibility status of Hidden/System files
! On rename of ordered session _with autosave_, ordered position was lost
! On rename of session with icon, icon wasn't reassigned
! On session delete, potential metadata entry (icon) wasn’t deleted from INI
