    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. At this time we have no plans to address this request as this is outside the scope of IDz and would be an Eclipse feature add. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    I agree. We also has too many cases where we ask developers to start on a new workspace. Then they loose filters and other settings.
    If a backup could be implemented it should be something like:
    Backup folder: C:\BackupWS
    Backup schedule: Day, Week, Month
    Delete backups after (days): 30

    No overwriting of old backups - they will need a date so a name could be: IDz15ws_20220113 (users workspacename is IDz15ws).
