command line option -d and saved workspace

[eldmos]

hi,

I'm wondering about the following scenario:

for more convenient use with different folder locations I added a registry key for windows shell integration which allows (in Windows explorer) to open a console window (= new tab) from the current selected directory. as a result I use -d command line parameter to have Console.exe's tabs running with a startup directory.

at the same time I'd like to have all former tabs restored whenever I newly start the program.

steps to reproduce

1. enable: Edit -> Settings -> Behavior -> More... -> Save workspace on exit
2. open two tabs with different locations
3. close Console.exe
4. from windows command line run:
   Console.exe -d '3rd_directory'

actual behavior

• the two former opened tabs are restored from workspace, '3rd_directory' is not added as a new tab
• (with step 4 above) when adding command line parameter -t with a dedicated console, indeed '3rd_directory' gets added but no former tabs are restored.

expected behavior

if no instance of Console.exe is running the two former opened tabs are restored from saved workspace and '3rd_directory' is added as a new tab - this is of course with single instance of Console.exe.

is this the intended way of using these options together and is there a way to overcome this? many thanks in advance.

-d specifies the startup directory (of the current startup tab definition)
I think command line syntax doesn't clearly separate tab definitions.

If ConsoleZ command line contains startup tabs, then you want to start a new workspace (saved workspace is not loaded).

Console.exe -d '3rd_directory'
should start ConsoleZ with only a default tab with startup directory '3rd_directory'.
