Fix: Group all research outputs into unique per-session folders to improve organization and prevent lost files

Problem

Currently, OpenManus saves output files (guides, code, data) in various locations inside the output/ directory. This causes:

• Research outputs from a single session to be scattered across multiple folders.
• Difficulty in tracking which files belong to which research task.
• Risk of overwriting or losing files.
• A cluttered output directory over time.

Solution

I implemented a fix that:

• Generates a unique output folder at the start of each research session, named with a timestamp and optional topic slug, e.g.:

output/research

• Prefixes all output filenames with this folder path before saving.
• Creates necessary subfolders (e.g., guides/, code/, data/) inside the session folder.
• Saves all related files from a single research task inside this dedicated folder.

Benefits

• Keeps outputs organized and traceable per research session.
• Prevents clutter in the output/ directory.
• Avoids lost or overwritten files.
• Simplifies review, sharing, and cleanup of research outputs.
• Improves reproducibility by grouping all related files together.

Recommendation

Please consider integrating this approach into OpenManus by:

• Generating a unique session folder at the start of each research task.
• Saving all outputs inside that folder.
• Optionally, including metadata or summaries per session.

This will greatly improve output management and user experience.
