Perhaps a difficult request - can we implement a builk save for imageJ?

Hi group,

I've modified the Workspace Plugin originally by Jerome
Mutterer to be able to save Image5d files - but - it isn't
perfect.  Things like the B&C window and others don't save
well.  Sometimes if something isn't just right, it will fail
to restore then I loose it all (or it's not worth the effort
to fix it).
 
The approach is to cycle through each image/window and save
it and create a text file that stores the window location and
type.  Then upon loading, you parse through that data file
and open all the windows.

But this is tedious and requires one to obviously be able to
identify the window and save it properly.  I think things
like hyperstacks and other "specialty" windows won't save.  

Is there not a way for ImageJ to just do a total memory dump
and restore? I find it hard to think that that doesn't exist
in Java.
