changing between projects

I would like to change between projects I am working on with CSE by switching sets of files loaded in the editor.
I looked at the export/import options but that doesn't seem to do what I would like.

When you restart CSE, the files open when last closed are reloaded, the list of file names are held in some config file. I would like to easily switch between sets of files. Have I misses an option somewhere?

Hi Lou,

Sorry, CSE HTML Validator doesn't currently support project workspaces. However, if you want to manually "hack" this, then you could try running CSE HTML Validator in portable mode. In that mode it will use a "cseoptions.ini" file to save all the settings. You could exit CSE HTML Validator, swap out the ini file for another, then restart CSE HTML Validator to use another ini file. You should be able to run in portable mode just by creating a blank "cseoptions.ini" file in the installation folder.

Another "hack" would be to create multiple CSE HTML Validator folders and each one can have a different cseoptions.ini file.

Or, if you just need two "workspaces", you could use one "cseoptions.ini" file in your installation folder for one "workspace", and rename it to something else for another "workspace" that runs in "normal" mode and uses the registry because it can't find the "cseoptions.ini" file.

More info on portable mode:

I hope this helps. Please let me know if you try this and how it works.
