Hi,
I'm a bit confused by the workspaces. To my feeling there are two
possible uses for the workspaces so i'm not entirely sure which of those
two i should use, or maybe i don't understand the concept very well.
One possible use for a workspace is something to group projects that
belong together, similar like in Visual Studio.NET where you can create
'solutions' to group projects that belong together. So when using
workspaces this way i would create a new workspace for every new
'project' (application, website etc) i start. By example to clearly
seperate a project I do for school, from another project i do for fun.
However the problem with this approach is that every new workspace
starts with the default settings so I have to configure every new
workspace again so that it uses my preferred settings.
The other possible use is to see a workspace as a set of preferences.
With this approach i would just create one workspace with all my
preferences and add all my projects to it. However this would become a
mess if I have, say, 30 projects of which most are not related to each
other but some are. Somehow i would like to group the related projects.
(i tried to create a project inside a project but this seems not possible).
To summarize:
- When creating a workspace for every 'project' -> i have to reconfigure
every new workspace , how can i automatically use my preferred settings
in a new workspace (also when i change a setting it should change in all
the workspaces)?
- When using only one workspace -> how can i group projects that belong
together?
Thx for helping me!
Greetz,
Jeroen

I was aware of these two methods but prefer Working Sets. It's easier to
organize them :)
thx!
