Hi,
It would be nice to have workspaces available for TopComponents. A workspace remembers all the opened TopComponents (like when the application exits). When recalling a workspace, all the TopComponents that were opened by the time the workspace is saved or created are opened again and the others are closed (like when the application starts).
The --userdir <path> command line parameter switches the whole configuration (bug 159555). Maybe a --workspace <path> parameter where <path> is the an alternate Windows2Local folder could do it.
Dynamic TopComponentGroups ?
