OK, I will move it to the view menu.

Oh yes this was not done. But I think I can also add this.
Should not be very 
hard to do.

For me, the menu entry is enough.

Well, for me it created a separate toolbar that can get
disabled. So I would 
see no need to add an option if this works. I will check if
this behavior is 
still like it used to be.

Yes, this was the idea behind the feature but maybe an
option to not close the 
open files would be fine.

I just committed some fixes for the project views, which are
now called view 
sessions.

This is fixed and works very nicely with the new keyboard
shotcuts.

I moved the submenu from project to view. But I am not
really satisfied with 
this position because most of the actions there are related
to the current 
view and not to views in general. But it is probably better
than in project.

Done, now the encoding is saved and used for loading.

Are you sure? Here the option is set per default so that you
should get the 
toolbar in the toolview and not close to the main toolbar.
When you unset it 
it moves to the "normal" place for a toolbar.

For me, the menu entry is enough.

Actually we have this option. Once the toolbar is in the
normal position it 
appears in the list of toolbars and can get disabled.
Mmh, there seems to be a bug with it. When you restart
KDevelop the toolbar is 
always visible. Strange, I do not know why this happens.

In deed this was the wanted feature. But I added an option
for you to let all 
files open when you switch to a session. But the default is
the old behavior.
