Have you tried project views? You can set your current group of files and loaded toolbars as a view. You can open and close all the files at once from the menu while simultaniously loading and unloading the toolbars. Get the files you want open and define your view. You can add or remove files from a view too. Why muck with all those selections when you can make a group to single click.

Thanks for your answer but this is not what I need.
I do not want to open a group of files at once that I have
predefined before. I need a better way of opening
various files across folders that I need on that day
all of a sudden.

Would the file upload tree widget be better suited? We could create a multiple file open from it's selection output listed from project files...

Why so complicated? The only IMO simple thing I'm requesting here
is the ability to open and hide a file selector with separate folder
and file view on key press. In HomeSite you can press F9, the source code
gets narrower and docked on the left hand side there is a file selector which
disappears when you press F9 again. It's so simple it's difficult to describe
it better. This is something I really miss and the functionality is basically
already there in Quanta. But there are some bugs in Quanta which prevent me from
doing this. I would be really glad if you fixed this one day. But even without
that it's a fine product, so I'm patient.

You're talking making the file tree on the left collapsable? This is something we've wanted to get to for some time. We may be adapting some of the UI functionality of Gideon too. At least one developer has expressed interest in doing that.
