Save desktop layout and opened windows per project

[jchomarat]

Hello there,

It would be awesome to be able to save an entire desktop, so that it can be restored in one click.

Let's say you are working on several projects (whether these a professional projects or personal ones), each project having its own set of applications opened (vscode, db tools, terminals, browser with specific URLs etc ...), what would be nice is

1. using PowerToys, I can save this configuration (including windows positions)
2. Give it a name
3. and have everything saved somewhere

And then, later on, I can select this "profile" and have all my applications reopened (vscode / vs studio with the correct project loaded, browser with the correct tabs opened, windows position as it was before etc ...)

I can imagine how huge this feature would be in term of development, but it would also be a huge time saver .. (which is, unless I am mistaken, the purpose of these amazing tools 😇).

Cc @ThomasLebrun who actually came with this idea!

If you'd like to see this feature implemented, add a 👍 reaction to this post.

Request ability to create desktop shortcuts to saved desktops for quick access.
Request that saved desktops open in a new desktop space rather than replacing the current one.
