save file hide-region state

save file hide-region state

[Joe Bloggs]

I often use hide-region-hide when coding to hide bits of code that I 
am not interested in.
Does anyone know if there is anyway to save the state of hidden regions 
so that when I revisit a file, the hidden regions are still hidden?
Thanks

Could be session.el does what you want.

Thanks, that's a useful package. However I can't get it to work with hide-region-hide
I added the hide-region-overlays variable from hide-region to the session-globals-include 
variable in session, but no joy. I have set the Max size to 20, and tried with both
possible states for Alist. Anyone?

After further investigation I have come to realize that making this work would involve
adding new functionality to session.el. It would require a variable to save the hide regions
 between sessions, and a function to add to find-file-hook to hide the saved hide regions when 
a buffer is opened.
