Description (last modified by Eric Pettersen)

The idea would be that if a flag is given to the open command ("combine true"?) then suppress reset_state(), and change Models.restore_snapshot() to add an offset to model IDs if any models are already open at the start of the routine.

This might work, maybe. Might need to set a session flag so that other restorers (sequences?) can do special things.

In tomorrow's daily build you will be able to combine a session file into the current session with "open session-file.cxs combine true". What I was able to test worked okay, but it's possible some tools may need enhancements to work correctly when combining sessions. The Model Panel works fine.
