Tab grouping

Hi!
It'd be great if Komodo remembers a project's tab grouping after the project is closed and opened again. I hugely use tab grouping in my work.

Thank you.

Are you saying that the reopened files are opened in a different order each time?

Right clicking on a tab, you can choose the "Move to Other Tab Group" option. In this way you can organize your tabs in two sections of the main page. Well, if you close your project and then open it again, you loose this arrangement.

With version 5, you could open the project, and its tabs, in a new window.
We envisioned this use for new windows anyway -- that way you can easily
avoid mixing tabs from unrelated projects, by keeping them each in a
separate window.

My problem is that I need to have some common files of the project in a section/window, and other files of the same project in an other section/window so that I can see both the sections/windows on the screen at the same time. For example, if I'm working on an html file, I need to have the related css file, JavaScript file and PHP file visible on the screen.
This arrangement is possible on Komodo. The only problem is that I loose this arrangement when I close the project (not closing the main Komodo window, but closing the project in order to open an other project). On the project reopening, I need to rearrange all that files manually. You can argue this is a bit frustrating for large projects.

Thank you.
