Sessions are great since it seems like I'm always working on more than one (or five) project at once.
But the current interface makes it a bit of a pain to load sessions. Currently there's a lot of file/folder navigation to find the files, and since they dont' have a file type to filter against they get lost when in a folder with a bunch of other files. I'd love to see one of the following:
a) Session files added to the Recent Files list, so at least they'd be quick to access. (If you're lucky.)
-or-
b) Sessions have their own separate "recent sessions" submenu.
-or-
c) A file association with sessions so I can double-click a session file and have it load.
-or-
d) Make dropping a session file on N++ open the session, not the XML.
Any one of these (especially b or c) would save me long minutes a day navigating out deep folder structures to find the session. Most of the time it's faster to just drag and drop the files I want N++.
Thanks for listening!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I'd vote for c), since a file qualifies as a session if either:
* it is session.xml, or
* if it was saved as a session
All it takes is a sessions.ini file, one line per nown session file, whose contents woud build a menu opening as "Load session". session.xml would be considered as implicitly present on the file.

See the help file, look under Session Management->Loading Sessions.
It has the answer to solution c (d follows automatically).
I'd vote for c), since a file qualifies as a session if either:
* it is session.xml, or
* if it was saved as a session
All it takes is a sessions.ini file, one line per nown session file, whose contents woud build a menu opening as "Load session". session.xml would be considered as implicitly present on the file.
