I don't thijnk so. I have not used winring.el, but it looks like it can name window configurations. However it is not a part of Emacs. None of them can save and restore window configurations from file which I think is essential. I am thinking about adding that to winsav.el. Most of it is already there, but I do not remember how far we got with a printed representation of window configurations. Anyone remember? > Then again, window configurations could be further enhanced by > finishing one of the "window group" proposals discussed some time > ago on this list, but that nots necesary for tabs. I think it is more essential than tabs. It can be used without tabs and it enhances tabs. >> Could we please move the second part to the main developing branch so >> we can take advantage of that part as soon as possible?
