Folders for graphs within Igor's Window Browser

My problem is that I often have way too many graphs and tables open, so even with the window browser it is hard to find what I am looking for.

My request is to have a way of organizing all of my graphs and tables into folders within Igor's Window Browser.

Of course then it would be perfect to be able to name each folder and possibly include folder notes of what is in each one.

 

AFAIR, the Windows Desktops package was among the first that Adam developed when he was preparing to start at or had just started at Wavemetrics. I continue to wish that the package features might someday be incorporated directly into Igor Pro.

To continue on the need that you express, consider also creating a notebook for each virtual desktop, wherein you summarize what the desktop contains.

Also, in keeping with the need to keep "sticky notes" about stuff, I might also recommend my Window Notes package as a way to add notes to graphs.

Several years ago I did the work to essentially build the functionality of my Window Desktops  package (https://www.wavemetrics.com/project/ACL_WindowDesktops) into Igor. The interface was slightly janky due to Qt limitations. Also, I solicited feedback from some power users and most were overwhelmingly negative about the idea of adding yet another way to manage windows, etc. So integrating this into Igor will probably never happen.

@Adam ... As long as the package does not fail, we will carry on. Thanks for the background.
