Session window: Open as new has strange selection

[Archimedes]

If'm in the Session Window and do a right click on an old "Folder Compare" and select hen "Open As New" the allowed choices are only "Folder Merge" and "Folder Sync". I would expect to create a new "Folder Compare" Session from an saved one.
The same happens if one does a right klick on an "Folder Merge", then "Open As New" only allowes "Folder Compare" and "Folder Sync".
Same for "Folder Sync", "New Text Compare", ...

Done that on Build 16750

Kind Regards

Hello,

In this case, that right click menu icon is to open the current folders/files in another session type. The expected behavior is to offer the other session types the current selection allows (such as a Text Compare to a Table Compare or other file level compare).

If you want to open the current session but not make changes to it, the expected workflow is to either Lock the session (which you can then Open, make changes, but they won't be saved unless you manually perform an Save with prompt or Save As), or you can select the session, Edit it, then Open it, which will open as a new session with the saved alterations.

I think the behavior you are looking for is accomplished with a Lock, which does not prevent saving entirely, but does automatically open in a protected state.

How do either of these work for you?
