[LAD] [LAU] [ANN] LADI Session Handler - Preview 1

[Florent Berthaut]

Hi everyone,

i'm happy to learn about this new direction for lash. It looks really 
promising.
The goal: "collaborate with x11 wm ..." reminded of an idea i had this 
summer during the RMLL ("rencontres mondiales du logiciel libre") while 
talking with musicians of the windows world.
They told me that they liked the gnu approach ("one application for one 
task"), that it was great to be able to change a part of the workflow 
independently. They also obvioulsy liked the idea of lash, being able to 
  save and recall a session.

But what they worried about (especially ableton live users) was the fact 
that a great number of windows could become complicated to handle 
compared to single window applications as live.

So the idea of remembering the windows positions is a good point but i 
think another interesting point would be to have an application that 
grabs all the music applications' windows and tiles them automatically 
(of course with the possibilities of resizing and moving each tile)
So when you restore a session all the windows are accessible at once.
This would be a sort of musical window manager and would allow to 
combine the advantage of a single window application with the advantages 
of multiple interconnected applications.

Perhaps it already exists, if it does please let me know ;)

Regards

Florent
