Is there anyway to save workspace so that we don't have reopen 10s of files again ?

Is there anyway to save workspace so that we don't have reopen 10s of files again ?

Hi,

Whenever I have to reboot, I'm really sad that all my register contents,
all the files that are opened all have to be closed. I want to be able to 
get back and have all the files open exactly as I left them. Lots of editors
have this functionality. Does emacs have this ? 

Regards,
Sanjeev..

Yes, Emacs has this too.  You want "M-x desktop-save RET" before
leaving Emacs and desktop-red after you restart it.

Amazing, exactly like I wanted.
One problem though. I saved some contents in a register.
but the contents of the register are gone in the reopened emacs.
Is this a bug or is there a workaround for this ?

Thanks.

You're free to implement this feature ... Seems no-one needed it yet!

Isn't the variable `register-alist' saved in your desktop file?

Off the cuff -- what's the difference between the two?

Which is generally thought better?


Thanks!
