Hey guys!
Is it possible to save all currently open projects and documents into a custom "workspace" that can be easily reopened. I have a number of related projects that are always opened together.
If there is not built-in feature to achieve this, is there a way to add this functionality? It would drastically improve my workflow.
Many thanks

No. If you read the manual on 'Workspace' this is only a set-up of palettes (unfortunately).
BBEdit already has a mechanism in place to save its state (on quit), so it ought not to be too difficult to write the code for the user to manually save-state. I suggest you contact support and request the feature.

That in and of itself is easy to achieve with Applescript.

set projList to items 1 thru -2 of {¬
alias "yourDiskName:Users:yourUserName:Documents:BBEdit Documents:Test_1.txt", ¬
alias "yourDiskName:Users:yourUserName:Documents:BBEdit Documents:Test_2.txt", ¬
alias "yourDiskName:Users:yourUserName:Documents:BBEdit Documents:Test_Project.bbprojectd:", ¬
""}
tell application "BBEdit"
activate
open projList opening in separate_windows
end tell
The fun part is compiling the items for the configuration. This can be easy or difficult depending upon what kind of windows you have open and whether or not there are unsaved documents.

I used to use scripts for this. Once the 'saved state on quit'
was implemented I had very little use for these scripts.
Note, the scripts are quite old and there will be new window
types that may not be supported. You should be able to adjust
the scripts for modern BBEdit.
The Workplaces script is just a placeholder for all the saved
workspace configs. The other 3 scripts save/load workspaces. You
will probably need to adjust the path at top of each script.
