Is there a way to save the actual list of files opened in the document selector?

I am a developer that opens 10 to 20 files at a time. I would like to be able to save that list of files when I close Textpad, and access that list again without having to go back and individually open each of the 10 to 20 files.

I tried to use the workspace functionality, but the files did not reappear in the document selector. I assumed that workspace saves the state of the files, and not the actual list.

Thanks,

is a good feature that I will find a use for.

File > Workspace > Save / Open
is what I should have used all along. I don't know what I had tried before, but the workspace feature does the trick.

I can open as many files as I want, save them to a workspace, and reopen the exact same list of files by opening the workspace without having to select each individual file again.

From the Help File:

"@-files" are normal text files containing a list of file names one per line. They can be used on the command line and in the Quick Open dialog box, to make TextPad open all the specified files, and in the "In Files" box on the Find in Files dialog box, to specify the list of files to search. Simply precede the name of this file with an "@" to make TextPad look inside it, rather than open it as a normal file. (Note that the "@" character must not be part of the name of the file.
