But I don't think that it will have the importance that it had in Xtree. I see two different reasons to implement this: 1.) The user wants to 'freeze' the current state to get back to it later, possibly after rebooting the pc. In Xtree/DOS times this was quite essential because in general you had to quit a program if you wanted to start another. This is no longer a problem. So only a reboot remains as a reason for doing this. And another condition is required to do this: The logged files have to be quite static in relation to the user. If other users in a network environment are changing files while the user is offline then the reloaded data is quite out of date and would have to be relogged anyway. 2.) The user wants to store a kind of screenshot to document files and directory structures. The data file is then used as a kind of database which can be loaded and examined (calculation of file numbers or sizes for different filespecs or dirs that existed at this certain time). This purpose would require a slightly different approach because the user could want to compare the stored data with the current data to tag changed files or so. For me only purpose 2.) would be of value. But this one is also much more complicated to design and code.
