Without following the complete discussion i chip in now because ECB is mentioned and window-groups...
IMHO currently there is a "missing link" (well, probably not the right wording but currently i have nothing better in my mind) between a window and ist containing frame, namely the mentioned window-groups: a frame contains at least one window-group and a window-group contains at least one window.
Especially for applications like ECB this would be a great help because such IDEs devide the frame in several window groups (e.g. with ECB: one group contains the special browsing windows, one the editing-windows, one the compile-output-window) which in turn can contain arbitrary windows.
With such a window-group concept several things should/could be possible:
- preventing a group from being be deleted by C-x 1 (AFAIK currently
there is something going on to achieve this with a new window-flag,
IIRC implemented by Joakim for the next release 24.X?!)
- hiding (ie. deleting) a window-group (ie. all it's windows but no others
from outside the group)
- saving the window-configuration of exactly one group and restoring only this
window-group (if a frame allocates needed space)
- rewriting display-buffer so only a certain window-group can be
used for displaying a buffer - or the other direction: a window-group can
be prevented from being used by display-buffer for buffer display
- etc...
IMHO such a general window-group concept between the frame- and the window-
concept would alleviate writing a tool like ECB (and would make a lot of its
advices obsolete or at least much simpler)
This is the point of view of the author and maintainer of ECB ;-)
Maybe it's offtopic for the original thread (i have not followed it), so feel
free to ignore it for this discussion or reopen a new discussion...

Klaus

Yes, maybe that is the best way, I am not sure.

I did not mean giving the zero height ot width. That would be confusing. I meant visibility as a new property.

That sounds very good. To throw away that part of my code in winsav.el I would need three more things:
- Rotate
- Transpose
and

- Resizing.
Actually the reszing code when putting back a window tree in winsav was one of the most frustrating pieces of code I have written because it had to fight what the C code was doing. I think the resizing code is one of those pieces that should be written in C. It should be much more simple there (the logic I mean ...).
