The new "feature" for working sets seems a very clumsy interface for managing you applications.

For a start it would have been nice if all my previous folders of bookmarks in designer came over as 'working sets' in the new UI. But now I have a clean slate and have to build it all up from scratch.

In the old bookmarks there was a "recently opened databases" folder, which would hold links to the last x number of databases I had opened in designer. I could then simply drag a tab or icon to my bookmark folder to store all my database icons by project etc. It's a lot slower in the new way, since you have to click the button to manage working sets, then select a set, then select and database you have opened to be a part of that set.

I love the way bookmarks work in the Notes client, where in the open database dialog you can select to bookmark a database and then select another top bookmark and so on very quickly, without actually opening the databases. I'd like to see a way of building a working set the same way, where you select the database to add to the working set without having to open the database.

Cheers
Craig
